ONE MORE SLEEP FOR US..... YAAAYYYY

2 more days b4 I will be banded and I am super excited. So ready for this journey to really be on its way... day 12 of pre op diet and its a lot easier for me..... almost there I can see the light at the end of the tunnel..

All the ingredients are 0 carbs except the cream or half and half wich fits into my pre op diet.

@ GLOVE I am still in the pre op stage.

Ok got a recipe from the doctors office with different recipes for protein shakes and found an awesome one!!! Orange dreamsicle!! ITS DA BOMB compared to what i have been drinking... 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder, 3tbls of sugar free vanilla syrup, 2tbls of vanilla sugar free creamer or half and half, and 2 packets of orange sunrise crystal light and blend with 1 cup of water and ice...... in heaven taste great!!

Sounds great!! That is one of the things I have been thinking about like will I get full off of 2 ounces of protein and 1 ounce of veggies. It gets scary sometimes because I do not want to fail at this.. failing is not an option at this point for me. Ready for my new life March 5th here I come.. CONGRATS ON UR NSV....YYYAAAYYYY

4 days to go.... then I will be a banster....March 5th

Hey I am March 5th as well. Yep 5 sleeps to go and READY!! Good luck.

I am on the all clear liquid diet now but also protein shakes... which will be the same diet after except I will be able to add soft foods...

7 more days before surgery!! 7 days on this pre-op diet. Although I know I will pretty much be on the same diet after surgery I will be able to add a few foods!! Thank you jesus!! Almost there....

I do the box of sugar and fat free pudding follow the directions and add 2 scoops of tasteless protein powder. 1/2 cup per serving gives you 4 servings...

Congrats!!! So happy for you! I know how I felt when I received my news of approval. I am on day 5 of the liquid diet and I come to the site daily to stay on track!! Pretty soon we too will be bansters!!!!!

Ok so I am at work today day 5 of my pre op diet and they are having a pot luck... uuuggghhhhh ok I can do this.....

Ok I dont know whats going on but I am weak, nauseated, and have fever!! IS MY BODY GOING THROUGH DETOX...?? I had to leave work early today because I feel horrible... its only day 3....

I know the feeling. I am about to eat some sugar free pudding with added protein... Guess that dinner.

Yes we can... My kids just had wendys for dinner and I had to go take a shower just to get away from the smell.. LOL it has got to get better for us!! Good luck to you as well.

Ok so it is day 2 of my 2 week liquid diet and its not as bad as I thought it would be but I sure would like to chew on something!!! But I must stay on the task at hand......PRAY FOR ME....

Im from Louisiana and I was supposed to go home for fat tuesday but I started my liquid diet today and knew that could be disaterous......

Samantha I hope things get better for you... I just pray that I can be strong starting on Monday....... bittersweet....

Ok so I am only allowed sugar free/ zero calorie drinks, one sugar free pudding, one sugar free jello, one low carb yogurt like carbmaster from Kroger and protein shakes a day!! No chewable foods at all..... I know this is going to be challenging hoping I can fight through!!!

Ok I start my pre-op diet on Monday February 20th....and I am getting a little nervous!!! Is there any pointers you guys can give me on how to do this without starving??... I DO NOT want to cheat myself out of jumpstarting my metabolisim so I don't want to cheat on this AT ALL... OMG its really hitting me that this is about to happen.....

Overall I can say the process is a breeze, except the psych eval. Everything you say they try to make it an eating issue/eating disorder! Just don't question what they say and go along. By the time I left I was told I had a food addiction and it was due to my mother death which I absolutly do not agree with. but any whoo. There are a lot of appointments and back and forth but its going to be worth it. Also start doing some sort of exercise acivity because at every appointment you go to they will be asking!! I also started replacing one meal a day with protein shakes usually breakfast just to get use to the taste. Good luck

GREAT!!

I work at a base and also have tricare and they started negotiations on monday for their new contract so they probably wont be approving anything until about April or so!! Lucky for me my referral was put in ahead of time...
