Count me in!
I start my Pre-op diet on Tuesday (June 12th). It's an Atkin's like diet I think. chicken, salad, fat-free deli meats, Protein shakes and bars, non-fatty fish like Tilapia and sole, water-soaked tuna etc.
My surgery is June 22nd at 7am so I need to be ther before 6:30am.
I told my husband, my parents, and my best friend (who is also banded). That's it. I don't people watching to see if I succeed and judging me.
I'm a little nervous but mostly excited. I'm not nervous about the surgery itself but about complications afterwards or me failing like I have every time before.

This is my first post. I start my pre opp diet on saturday, and my surgery is on june 29 in toronto, canada. I am exicted and nerves all in one but i know i can do it with the help of my husband and my family. I have to do a pre opp diet for three weeks. i have three Protein Shakes a day and low calarie veggies. I was told it is to try to get ride of up to 25% of fat in your liver to make the surgery safer.

It is not feasible to never have a piece of chocolate or a glass of wine again. None of us got to where we are from a glass of wine or a piece of chocolate. We all still have lives to live, we just need to make smarter choices along the way. Saying we CAN'T have something is how a lot of us got here in the first place! Enjoy your wine and husband and live life to the fullest.
P.s. My surgeon NEVER mentioned being unable to consume alcohol, only to not over consume and to wait until I am fully healed.
Let's all support eachother here because not one of us is perfect and we should not expect others to be either.

I had my pre-op testing Fridaymorning. My ECG looked good and I'm just waiting on my blood test results. I also went to costco and picked up all sorts of stuff for my pre-op diet which starts June 11th. I am allowed Protein Shakes and bars, fat free deli meats, water-packed tuna, chicken, and non-starchy veggies with fat-free Salad Dressing.< /p>
On Thursday morning the clinic called and said my surgery had to be moved up to 7am instead of 8:45am. They just said there was a "scheduling conflict" which is okay. Now my hubby and I have to leave home just after 5am to be there for 6:30am.
I hope everyone who is already recovering is doing well. Keep us updated!!
