h@rt*s mommy

Hey Mike, CONGATS! I am in the Portland area, a little past Sandy, towards the mountain. I am getting banded on 9/24 in Vancouver by Dr. Cagle. Tell me, did you have to do the milk diet? I have to be on the milk diet for 3 weeks.. just wondering how i went for you, the diet, the surgery, everything.

I am pretty much doing this alone. EVERYONE in my family is stick thin, so they dont really understand about this, AND to make matters better, (see I dont say worse, because to me, its for the better) I am going through a divorce right now. So, having a bussy that understands what I am about to go through would be great!

Im from the Portland, Oregon area.. it seems like most people here are midwest.. or east coast.. am I right... ? I could use a banding buddy... I guess I should post as a new topic huh... :smile2:

Hello, I am having surgery on the 24th of next month, and my surgeon is asking me to do a 3 week milk diet. Has anyone had to do this before, AND have you fallen off the wagon in those 3 weeks. For those of you that DONT know about that diet, its basically all I can drink is skim milk, 3 times a day, as much as I can in 5 minutes. I can drink water as well, and crystal light, but thats it. And my vitamins also. Im worried about falling off the wagon simply because next month, about 10 days after I start, I am heading to my high school reunion. I am discipling myself right now to be prepared for it, but with the drinking, and the eating with friends, Im worried I will fall off the wagon. Any advice on that? ALSO, Can anyone tell me what YOU ate after surgery. I hear protein shakes, yogurt, broth, those things are acceptable, just wanting to get a feel for what life was like for all of you weeks after your surgery. Thanks in advance! Elaine
