Dec 4 here....good luck.

Wow, that is something to be so proud of!!! You look fantastic!

Dec 4 here. I started drinking muscle milk as its in my pre-op book of choices. Love it!! But I was googling it to see the vita/nutri and there are actually being investigated and may be taken off the shelf. Figures once I like something so good and its lite it has arsenic, cadium, mercury etc high levels if you drink 2 much a day. I heard about 310 shake? Anyone take that? Dr. Cohen told me to start my pre-op diet On Nov 27 5 days before surgery.......

Thanks Cassie, that's what I needed. Never heard of divinci syrup. Do you get it from the grocery store? Mamagirls, I haven't started on shakes yet. Doc said start on Nov 27 with my pre op diet.......But when it does I am supposed to have shakes only for 4 days, then the 5 day have only clear broth and Water. Taylor, I am same, excited, but nervous. Overall excited, because I feel like if I don't have this done now I will keep gaining and gaining and never be able to live a healthy life or never play sports again. I just can't wait till I lose a hundo pounds.....

I am in West Palm Beach florida. You?

Cool. Are you in Hollywood or on the west coast of Florida. I hear he is in 3 different hospitals down here. You look great. I can't wait!!

Hi ! I am getting banded Dec 4, anyone else? What pre-op diet are you on? Does anyone have a pre-op diet menu that is all formatted per day what to eat? My DA was very vague it seemed to me. Thank you for any help you can give me!!

Having surgery on December 4 with Dr. Brett Cohen anyone use him? I am supposed to do only a 5 day liquid diet before surgery. I have been seeing some of you doing 2 weeks plus.....help! please

Oh man you look fantastic!!!!!! Congrats! I can't wait!!!

I have surgery on December 4. I have been "watching" what I eat since I saw doctor for first consult on Nov 6. I feel the same way you do now, BUT I have done this 36 plus times in the past and every time I would gain all the weight back plus more. So frustrating!! I hope after surgery the "need" to eat is diminished ALOT. It seems like all I do is think about food, while I am eating my lunch I am thinking what I am going to have for dinner.
