I have all I need, even got a magic bullet (love it). I do have a runny nose, hope this won't b a problem. I've lost 14lbs and can't wait to start my new life. This site has been such an encouragement to me, thanks so much to all of you.

21 grams of protein!!! When u r sick of sweet shakes, it is really amazing. I go in tomorrow so I wanted to be ready. U should order some trial packs.

You guys have given her great advice. I am shocked about what the doctor is allowing her to eat so quickly. I have surgery Thursday and I'm on a two-week liquid diet after surgery and two weeks of mushy foods after that. I also have a minimum amount of protein that I need to get in every day. I was also told to measure your food and only eat one cup. And that food needs to be eaten very slowly within 30 minutes and then you're supposed to stop. The problem is not all doctors have a good support staff for their patients. Do you have a nutritionist that deals with bariatric patients? I also agree about the comment about the water, it being too much. We were told 64 ounces a day, you are drinking double that.

I did! Today I reordered the chicken soup and got a cheese sauce. I can put it in low fat Cream of broccoli soup, warm tomato juice and mashed potatoes during the mushy stage. You can order trial sizes of every flavor to see if you like them. I could not have done the two-week liquid preop diet without the chicken soup. I definitely needed a break from the sweet taste of all the protein shakes. I hope you do well best of luck to you!

Tomorrow I start my 2 week liquid preop diet. I have gone to the classes, bought what I need, have a surgery date (12/20/12). I can't get my mind to turn off, can't sleep, i'm really nervous. I didn't think I would be like this. I know all the info, but still feel unprepared. Is this normal? I want and need to do this, but i'm apprehensive...

Starting Pre-Op diet tomorrow Anyone Else
DebbieC1970 replied to Ms.Millie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm day one... Ugh!! 13 to go! I'm hungry, tired, Moody, and all I can think is 13 more days! I may not need surgery, this may b the death of me. I spent $120.00 on different flavors hoping it will help, i'm on my 3 cup of hot tea. I was ok at work, but now that i'm home, not so much. I may have to clean and organize my whole house to stay busy. Best of luck December bandsters! -
Thanks for all the encouragement! I belong to a private fb group at St. Agnes in Baltimore, but it is for all wls patients. I believe band takes more determination, just my opinion. I realize that with all wls u can gain back the weight by making poor choices. My life will no longer look the same, i'm ready... Still nervous, but ready. Thanks for the stories of Ur journeys, keep them coming!!
