Hi b2010. Yes, March 15th! Coming up isn't it. I'm on a 10 day pre op liquid protein diet. We had to so a 3 day practive run a few weeks ago which was ok, but this time it was a bit harder with so much unknown ahead of me. We have a 4 day clear liq, 10 day protein liquids, and then blended foods for about 2 weeks. I'm glad to be informed, and like the idea of giving ourselves healing time. I've been doing things around the house too, just because it might be a few weeks before I scrub the tub etc. I had an infection in my gallbladder in May and had to have it emergently removed, I've heard this surgery is similar. I'm not worried about that part. Have you been doing well on your pre op liquids? Good luck to you!!!

Thanks Cheryl, yes the before and after photos of everyone is so so inspirational. when I want to eat or when this pre-op diet gets hard I just get on here and start seeing what everyone has accomplished. thanks! -Bianca

Sammy, i'm on day two of pre-op with surgery date of the 15th. What have you done for pre-op?

hi Fern, just sent you a note - but my surgery date is for 3/15/2010 also. Where are you having your procedure done? I'm going to Mexico. Are you on your pre-op diet yet? I'm on day 2 of liquids and it's soooo hard - but I've gotten a lot done around the house in these last two days. It's a wonder how motivated you are to do other things when eating isn't filling up your days lol....:smile2: keep in touch, -Bianca

Thanks for your sweet comment! I remember looking at photos when I first started this journey, it really helped, so glad to have some "afters" myself. Good luck to you!

hi Ashli, I'm being banded on the 15th of March as well. checked out your blog - I can totally relate to how you feel. have you started your pre-op diet yet? what are your plans for the diet? I've gotten my lean cuisines and protein drinks but haven't officially started.

i'm March 15th scheduled with dr oritiz in TJ Mexico. where are you having your surgery?

I can totally relate. My surgery date is 3/15/10 and after being on prednisone for a an unrelated issue I ended up putting on about 10lbs. I'm back down to my original pre-surgery weight but haven't lost any of my weight for surgery as of yet and I only have 3 weeks left. I also keep thinking about what life will be like after the band, putting things off like starting to work out etc....until after surgery. I dont think this mind set is good and it's only making time go even slower. :sad: any encouraging words from anyone that's been here before would surely help.
Maybe then i won't be so worried about posting the before pics. -Bianca
