Thanks!! Found you!!!

Hi I'm Anna and I started a new Facebook page just for my Lap band friends and pages. Using it as a tool to help me and others through our awesome journeys together. I will be banded on Nov. 16th!! I start my pre op this coming up Friday for two weeks!! So if you have a Facebook page for your lap band I would like to add you. My name on Facebook is Star Shine and I have the same pic as here to make it easy to find.

Hey friends that are on Facebook, I started a page just for my lap band friends. Of course I'm not telling everyone. So look me up Star Shine, and I have the same pic to make it easy. Or let me know your name an I can find ya!

Wow!!!! That's amazing girl!!!! You ROCK!!!

What we're you admitted for?

Mines the next day!!

How much did you borrow if you don't mind me asking?

I would ask and if he doesn't give you one I would go on one a week before. It can only help.

Thank you so much!!!

November 16th and I'm getting soooo nervous about the pre op and post!!! Here's my diet! Two Weeks prior to surgery you will be on a liquid diet. You will begin having 3 meals per day. This diet helps prepare the digestive tract for surgery, helps shrink your liver and reduces surgical risks. Two meals per day will be liquid Protein supplements (men may need an extra protein supplement to meet their protein requirements). FWLB offers Premiere Protein (purchase these in our office or at Costco). Protein needs are based on a calculation of age, height and current BMI. Your protein needs will NOT change, even when you get to your goal. This is the amount you will need forever. 3rd meal will be Soup (any kind), and you may have everything that is in the soup. Campbell's, Healthy Choice, Progresso, Chili, homemade, etc., but stay away from heavy cream soups- like tomato basil from LaMadeline's. You may have any of the following: Low fat cottage cheese, Tofu Low fat Yogurt - Greek yogurt has almost double the amount of protein Vegetable Juices - V8, Diet V8 fusion, etc. Iced tea (unsweetened or use artificial sweeteners) coffee Low fat creamer, Skim or 1% milk, soy milk sugar free Popsicles Artificial sweetener sugar-free drinks only (Crystal Light, G-2, Diet Powerade, etc) Sugar-free pudding

I have Rhuematoid Arthritis and my doctor/surgeon said that it wasn't a problem or it didn't disqualify me. I'm sure you will be fine, but you have to let them know.
