Hi EVERYONE! I am gtting banded May 10th! Start my pre-op diet on Monday! YAY for all of us!!!

I received a call from my suregon's nurse! She was the one taking care of getting me approved! When she called, I could tell I was approved by the tone of her voice. I was sooooo excited! :scared2:

Isn't the Ensure high in calories? It's typically used as ameal replacer in the elderly and I thought it had a lot of calories, but I may be wrong! Your body may be in shock and is holding on to everything. Give it a few more days and I am sure you will see a drop. Keep up the good work!:biggrin:

LMAO!!!

Hi all May bandsters! Please join the MAY 2010 BANDSTERS group so we can cheer one another on! :thumbup: I start my pre-op diet next week and am so scared that I will be a bear the first couple of days!

Congrats on your approval. I was approved last week so I am still excited as well! I am getting banded on the 10th of May. We are May bandster buddies! I too didn't make an avatar or anything fancy on my profile until I had the approval! Too funny! Well, congrats. Keep in contact! :thumbup:

Hey all you May bandsters. I started a group call May 2010 Bandsters so that we all can get support from one another! Check it out, join it! :smile:

Good Luck! I am scheduled 4 days before you. I am going through the same emotions! When do you start your pre-op diet?

Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with Herbalife protein shakes? I have used them in the past and would like to use them for my pre and post-op diet. If anyone has any info I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

I have used the shakes in the past and really like the taste. I was hoping that I could use them for my pre-op and post-op diet but another response was that the shakes are made from soy protein and whey protein is better. Any thoughts? Are you using the Herbalife shakes for your pre and post op diet? Did your nutritionist/dietician recommend it?

Melissa, I am May 10th. When are you starting your pre-op diet and what are you doing for it? Looking for a buddy? I could use a weight loss buddy!

My surgery date is May 10th!!! I am excited and nervous. I will be starting my pre-op diet next week. I meet with the surgeon and the nutritionist next week. I don't know what the nutritionist will tell me for the pre-op diet but I want to start doing some shopping. Does anyone know how much protein, fat, carbs, etc that we should have in each protein shake? How many calories should we consume daily on the pre-op diet? I am thinking about using the Herbalife shakes because they are really tasty but I want to make sure they have all the nutrients, etc that I will need. I am also looking for some fellow Lapband buddies. I don't have a LOT of support so I could use the support. Thanks!!! :ohmy:

What will your calorie intake be? I will be starting my pre-op diet next week. My surgery day is May 10th!!! Are you so excited? May I ask how much weight you have to lose?
