Hi August Bandsters! Well I am on Day 2 of my pre-op diet. I am eating sugar-free tropical popsicles, chicken broth, cyrstal light with one scoop of unjury twice a day so I get my 40 g. of protein and lots of cold ice water. Yesterday I "floated" 9 times to the ladies room at work!! Today it is not as often, thank goodness! Eight more days of doing this, I should definitley lose some pounds! Surgery is August 4th and I am so ready!! I will tell you, if I were not so motivated, this pre-op diet my surgeon requires (for liver reduction, weight loss and to see if you stick to a liquid diet) would be very very difficult. I passed up on going to a cookout today with my hubby because I did not want to torture myself with all those great cookout smells!!! Who starts their pre-op diet next?? Let me know how you are doing...

Hi everyone! I finished up all my appointments today!! I had my pre-op at Caritas Norwood Hospital, had my pre-op with Dr.Adam Glasgow and had my pysch appt. with Dr.Newman. Signed the consent form for surgery and I am all set! Start my pre-op diet on Friday, July 24 and am having surgery Tuesday, August 4 in the morning...yipeee! I am so ready for all of this to happen!

Thanks knwitham! Do you have Blue Cross of MA? My surgeon gave me the impression that there's no problem with them...

My Blue Cross of MA authorization came in the mail today!! Yippeeee! 29 more days till I get banded!!!!
