I was banded on the 29th as well had to arrive at 6:15am was banded around 8:15am in recover for 2 hrs and then in my room by 12pm. My Dr. requires a overnight observation stay which was nice. I was discharged on 3/1 at 10am and i couldn't wait to get home. I'm having trouble getting the 60gms of protein but i think each day will get easier. My gas pain really annoys me and it surprises me that it hurts worse then my 4 incisions. But in the end I am 100% happy with my choice.

Today is day 4 and I have 8 days until my surgery so excited. I just am wondering any advice for my Feb 29th surgery?

Thanks for all the advice, I tried Metabolic Reset because a friend recommended it and it tasted great BUT the side effects were horrible... I'll just say I need to stay close to my bathroom. Today I am taking Atkins Advantage and it's honestly not that bad although I still have to make trips to the restroom its not as frequent as yesterday and not so painful.

On Saturday I start my Preop Diet for 11 days and I am SO freaking confused!!! I have a list of shakes from my Drs office but when I went go to the nutritional store they tell me that these are Dirty Shakes and I should be drinking Clean Shakes???? Here is the list the Dr gave me: Atkins Advantage Wonder Slim Pure Protein Myoplex Isopure lean Body Carb Solutions Muscle Milk This is the sample I bought at Nutritional Store: Bluebonnet whey Protein Isolate Any input would really help. Thanks!
