Just a couple of days ahead of you on the 4th. God bless you on your journey.

Congratulations on the 5lb weightloss! You are on the right track. I have had the same concerns that I was going to wake up and find that my liver had not shrunk enough. I think the worst thing for me with this pre-op as I have said to others is the sweet taste being excellerated in the protein drinks. I am more of a food eater instead of sweets and so, this is hard for me. I'm not giving up though. I am so excited to be this far into the process. Tues the 4th is just around the corner for me. Hang in there you will make it just fine. If you are losing then that is what they want you to do. Good luck to you.

I'm scheduled the 4th as well. I have been on the liquids and yuck, yuck! I'm having a hard time with the sweet taste being magnified it's terrible! Good luck to you on the 4th and Best wishes.

This pre-op diet is the pits. I'm trying very hard to find something that I can tolerate. I'm having a super sensitive taste to sugar right now, the taste seems magnified. I suppose the diarrhea is another side effect of the liver cleanse. The protein shakes are not my favorite drink so I'm going to need ideas on how to change the flavors. It's five days till surgery and the start of a new life for me. I'm so excited a little anxious but nothing I can't handle.

I love nursing and I have worked as a Hospice nurse myself. I loved it although it does take it's toll on you eventually. I am so excited that next Tuesday my life will change forever! Yes I hope that we can be a support to each other thru this lifelong change. I start liquids tomorrow and then one week later banding. I really do not care for the protein shakes any suggestions?

I am new also. I am looking at the band as a miracle for me. I have been overweight most of my life and now I realize that I have the chance to change things. I guess reality hit home when my kids were dicussing my surgery and made the statement that they had never known mom without a weight problem. I really want to be a happy healthy mom and nurse!

I hear you loud and clear! I have been trying to do the liquids and cut way back on calories although I'm not officially suppose to start pre-op till tues the 28th. I have been alittle grouchy and I have to find a way to take in the water. I have spoken with others and they tell me there is something about the band that will definitely help with some of the hunger and create a sense of fullness. Tammy

I cannot wait till I have those saggy panties!! lol surgery date Nov 4th,2008

:thumbup:I am scheduled for Nov 4th. It's been along time coming and I am soooo excited! I am looking forward to a life that is no longer controlled by the fact that I am overweight and Diabetic. I am so looking forward to the fact that I can add years to my life and not take them away.

Hi, I am scheduled for Nov 4th,2008. I am excited! Just a little nervous but when I think of what the extra weight is doing to me wellllllllll I'm more afraid of that.

I am a newbie as well. My surgery is scheduled for Nov 4th, 2008. I am very excited! I do have some anxiety re: anesthesia. I do not like the fact that I have to go to sleep for the band however, I do not want to stay awake! I am so looking forward to having the tool that I need to lose the weight. I start my liquid diet on the 28th. My Dr has me doing two liquid meals and one regular meal of choice till surgery. Good luck to you on the 22nd. :w00t:

I start liquids on the 28th. my dietician instructed me to do one meal and the other two liquids. I think it's what your Physician requests. My surgery date is Nov 4th, 2008.

I am so excited it's finally approved and surgery is set. I start my liquid diet the 28th of this month. I started my journey toward weightloss with my first appointment Sept 14th this year. Tricare Reserve Select is my insurance and they were so fast with my approval I could not believe it. I would love to hear from any of Dr Ikram Kureshi's patients in the Denison Tx area.
