I love all of those and sushi but I didn't know with the preop if they had too much sodium or calories ect. When did you start eating those..before? right after? or after healing?

I am on the pre-op diet (surgery next Thursday the 20th) I am on Optifast and have been doing 2 Soups a day and 4 shakes. I just realized I am almost out of Soup and can hardly stomach the shakes. (not much of a sweet person and they are so sweet and expensive. Are there any other soups available that I can substitute with? :smile2:

From reading it doesn't sound like anyone really drinks. Did anyone drink before? After? I like to drink a couple of drinks 3 or 4 times a week. Is this someting I need to give up?:confused2:

I am having my surgery with Dr Kim on March 20, 2008. I am glad to hear he is good and well as TLC. I was planning on having my surgery on Thursday and going back to work on follwing Tuesday. Is that enough time?

I am glad you are feeling so good only a week after! I was planning on taking Day of surgery which is a thursday and going back to work on Tuesday. It sounds like I may need to wait another day. Has everyone doen the 2 week liquid diet? That is what I am most worried about.

Thank you for the welcome and I am very excited to become a "bandster". How long does it take to recover so I know how long to ake off work? How fast have people lost weight?
