My surgery date is Aug. 11th!! I start my pre-op next week. I wish everybody the best of luck!

Thanks you all for your words of encouragement and helpful information!! I really appreciate it all. I am going to be on the liquid protein diet with 1-2 healthy meals a day also for 2 weeks. I also have an office job and have the option to work from home if I can't make it in the office. I'm taking the 8th - 14th off from work, I didn't take that Friday off but if I feel as though I couldn't make it through the day at work, I may decided to work from home. Hopefully I won't be too sore.

I think the straw(s) that broke the camel's back for me was that I would lose like 10 pounds and then gain back 15. That process went on so long that I went to the doctor to make sure that I didn't have a thyroid problem. Fortunately I don't have a thyroid problem. I've been overweight the majority of my life but i think it really hit me when my size 22 pants started getting tight.:biggrin:

Hello! I searching on the web and found this site and I'm glad that i did. :biggrin: I'm from Dallas, TX and having been on a long journey with my lapband process.(I started last yr in Aug) I'm getting banded on August 11th and I'm excited and scared at the same time. I start my pre-op diet on the 28th of this month and hopefully that will be a smooth ride. I open to any suggestions for pre-op and post-op diets. How long did most stay off work? Did anyone stay over night at the hosipital?
