I was banded on the 6th. I've been doing protein drink from Bolthouse Farms and apple juice and water. I'm vegetarian so don't do Jello but I found really cool 3oz cups of juice gels. Sooo yummy! I've only been allowed 3oz at a time so far. I should be able to go to purée tomorrow. I already made squash soup and potatoe soup and mashed avocado and black bean soup. I put them all in little portioned freezer containers.

Hey all. I just finished day 1 post surgery.

Totally feel like crying too. I am unique in that my surgeon doesn require a pre op diet. He has been doing these surgeries for many years and is cOnfident in knowing who he needs to do one and who doesn't. He doesn't make a blanket rule on it. So, when I say I've been saying goodbye I just mean that my meal choices have been my faves, not that I am going against doc advice. I have been telling my husband that I feel like I'm saying goodbye to a best friend that I have outgrown. It makes me sad but I am ready and excited about the next ste P in my journey. As for nerves - my post got cut off. I was saying that I am nervous about surgery itself since I have never had any surgeries or anesthesia in my life. I am more than ready for the lifestyle changes post op and have been preparing for more than a year. This is such an exciting time!

Hi all. I am new here. I got the call last Monday that I got approved and my surgery is this Tuesday! I simply cannot believe how fast it happened. I'm ready for the post surgery. I am just nervous about the actual surgery. I have never had any surgery for any reason so I worry about anesthesia. Other than that I am excited.

My surgery us scheduled for the 6th. I have been debating tomorrow night. I spent the last three days saying goodbye to foods that won't be on my menu any time soon -if at all. I'm nervous.
