Can now say I am an official October 2012 bandster. All went well today. Dr was great. He said my liver shrinkage made his job easier. I ask for a rebate and he chuckled. Not needing pain meds at all. Little nausea.

Preop diet complete. 12 lbs in two weeks. sitting here dressed and ready to go for a 7:00am operation. Slept great last night. I must be ready.

Well less than 24 hours now all preparations are complete. I am expecting the best

My Preop diet prescribed by my Doctor allows for 4 ounces of solid protein. Chicken fish or turkey. With a cup of steamed veggies. Then three protein drinks during the day. I get hungry but it is manageable My big day is Thursday 25. I have lost ten pounds on Preop

We'll oct 25 is the day. Preop diet is not so great. Traveling the next two days unexpectedly for interview for new position. Preop diets were not designed for last minute travel plans. So far so good losing weight before banding.

Oh yes. Started on Thursday.

My date is Oct 25.
