I have to buy Sketchers, they are comfortable when you put them on, you dont have to break them in. I have tried Nike, Reebok, etc but they all hurt my feet. Good luck

Hope everything goes well for you!!!! Mine is next Wed. and im getting more nervous, but just ready to get surgery part over with. Good luck!!!

Prinxs, you can make it. Can you have chicken broth made from chicken boullion?? Theres hardly any calories. Ask your dietician, maybe that would help with your salt craving.

Can you have broth, at least its not sweet. Congradulations, how are you feeling?

Thanks for the info. I will look it up. I am doing good with whey protein powder from walmart, not to bad.

I live by Herrin Il. Its about 3 1/2 hours south of Decatur office, but I am having my surgery at Mt Vernon at Crossroads Hosp. I have only had to go to Decatur 1 time on June 1st for psych eval and see dietician, and physical. The 1st time I saw Dr was April 4th, thats when I started all this. It took them 2 months to get mine approved after june 1st appt. I have bcbs of TN, I had to do diet with my family Dr also, that I started on April 5th, and the Dr had to fax monthly diet report to ibc. I did weight watchers online and lost 39 lbs in 4 months. Day 6 of preop diet, I get 1 small meal a day, so its not to bad, I always look forward to that meal, even if its not much.

Tracy, thats great you are at your goal!!!! Do you have problems eating any foods now? I hope I dont have to have a tummy tuck. If you dont mind me asking how many pounds did you lose? Well congradulations, great job!!! Im on day 5 of preop diet, hope im not eating to much on it. Getting pretty nervous.

Sorry I fotgot to let you know that my surgery is Sept 19th.

Tracy, how are you doing with your lapband? When was your surgery?

Threekidsmom, when is your surgery scheduled? It would be nice to have some other people to talk with on here, lets keep in touch.

Just wondering if there are any of you from Illinois going here. If so I would like to know how your surgery went and how you are doing. Good luck to all of us on our journeys!!!

Still wanting to know what unjury is???? Does anyone know, I heard a few talking about it.

Hey RhondaMarie, I would like to be added also for sept 19th. Getting more nervous about having the surgery every day it gets closer. But I am going through with it and cant wait, day 4 of preop diet. Thanks!!!

Suzeeq, thank you for the info. Good luck with your surgery. Let me know how it went. I want to know all the details, when your feeling up to it.

Hello, im getting banded the 19th. I could not hardly choke down atkins adv. shakes. So I got brave n bought Whey Protein powder from walmart, I mix 1 scoop of it with 1% milk, and a little ice in a blender. Its yummy!!! I got vanilla, its really alot better. Day 3 of my preop diet. 10 more to go. Good luck everyone!!

Congradulations!!!! That is great that your Brother lost all that weight, congrads to him also.

Thank you all for the great ideas!!! My surgery is the 19th, I still have 12 more days of preop diet. What is unjury, and costco?

I just started my preop diet today. I got Atkins shakes but I cannot choke them down. Let me know if you find one thay is tasty. Good luck to you. My surgery is the 19th.

First day of my preop diet, and I choked down my 2 protein shakes barely. I felt nausea afterwards. I can taste the vitamins, and they are thick. Anyone please help me out. I had atkins.

Just try to take a deep breath, and think positive. I talked to a lady that had the surgery a year ago, I asked her how the pain was after surgery, she said that it was mild, not bad at all. Im having surgery on sept 19th. Start preop diet tomarrow. Keep in touch. Maybe we can calm each others nerves. Lol
