Great news, surgery scheduled for the 10th! I am so excited!

I have not kept this a secret at all. I have told everyone and you would be amazed how much support I have. A few of my friends are even doing the pre- op diet with me. I am in the wine business which goes right along with food. I attend many dinners where I now be ordering broiled fish, vegetables and will not be tasting the wine with my meals. It was pretty much a necessity to share, but even if it wasn't I still would have. I am proud that I m in this journey.

Hang in there. Insurance can be a real pain!!!!

Good luck today. Keep us posted on how you are doing!

Wish me luck I find out this morning if I will be banded on the 10th! Praying!

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your journey.

I love the saying"eat to live instead of living to eat"

I love the Syntrax Lemonade ! 50 calories 25 grams of protein.

Good to hear. I am planning to go back to my desk job 4 days post op too.

Best wishes and congratulations!!!!!!!

I went in and worked today to stay away from temptation. Day 8 pre op!

Thank you!!!

Found out yesterday that the hospital I was scheduled for surgery at is not covered 100% by my insurance. We had to reschedule my surgery a day earlier at a different hospital! We have not yet confirmed availability at the new location so I am on pins and needles waiting for tomorrow morning to see if the hospital has an available surgery opening on the 10th! Staying on my pre op diet and keeping my fingers crossed.

I am on day 8 pre op diet . I am having 3 protein drinks, using a lemonade flavor I bought at bariatric choice.com. I also can have 1 lean cuisine a day until days 12 &13 then just liquids. I have lost 8 pounds so far, hoping for at least 12. My surgery has been moved up a day due to having to change hospital because of insurance coverage! UGH! No problems with stools yet, hope it stays like that! Good luck to you!

Best wishes Christy!!!!

I am scheduled for surgery on July 11. I am on day 6 of my pre-op diet and have list 6 pounds. I am eating I low cal, under 300 calorie meal and about 3-4 protein drinks a day. I do not use the protein shakes. I have found some great protein powders at bariatric choice.com. I especially like the orangeade and lemonade! Getting excited!

I had mine last Tuesday. Nothing to it! A little bit of a scratchy throat that quickly went away! Good luck!

Good luck everyone! I am being banded on the 11 th! On my 5 th day pre-op diet down 5.5 lbs. hope I can be down 12 lbs before surgery!
