open it and mix a splenda with it and a smidge of water !!

shely, its good that you feel so good, but remember that the band is there in conjunction with diet changes to help you lose weight. From what i heard and talked to my surgeon about , is the fact that the person has to say no to the food not the band. Maybe try to stay away from foods that might be a trouble "zone"

my surgeon starts counting day 1 the day after surgery....

I am also a recovering coke zero junky. I gave it up 3 weeks ago. I drink fuze , or sobe ....mmm good. I also drink a ton of water. Jennifer

Dee , congrats!!! didn't your surgeon tell you what your diet will be and what to buy?

bmi of under 40 you usually need the co-morbidities. You should be fine if the surgery is covered by your insurance. Jennifer

mine was june consult mid aug surgery! very quick

I had my white blood count elevated in my blood test and needed to be put on antibiotics before surgery and retest 5 days pre-op. ughhhhh

Glad everything went well!!!!! best of luck on your new journey! Jennifer

Dar, My name is Jennifer and feel free to friend me, as we have the same day. My surgeon just requires low carb. Ive been doing two isopure dutch choc. shakes and eating a piece of chicken and a veggie for dinner in one week i lost 6.3. Im not gonna do all liquid as i am not required too. Yayyyyyy less than two weeks for us!!! keep in touch! Jennifer

keep plugging along....and let your Dr know this is emotionally not good for you right now.

Good for you Mandy!!! good luck tommarow! we are all rooting for you!!! Jennifer

I live in a beach community, I would love to feel good in a bathing suit. not being out of breath! My kids think im great heavy or thin, but id love to be in shape and be able to run around more with them. To go back to my former office up north when i visit , and parade around in front of one of my former employees(who was vicious) and just smile! Jennifer

Congrats!!! we are the same day!

my surgeon , just says eat lightly , Ive been doing two shakes and a meal at night . So maybe don't blow a whole day , just do one last meal at night (and not the night before). Stay away from the carbs!!! You know where to find me on the email side mandy. If you need my number as a support buddy let me know! Jennifer

im in south florida...its a hike . But im seeing the chief of surgery/head bariatric surgeon, Dr Paul Wizman in margate. Great office !!! look him up. Apparently he sees high weight people and revisions as well.

Make sure you ask them if you will be put in icu after because of the cpap. My surgeon told two people yesterday at pre -op that don't be surprised if you wake up in icu for one night. Jennifer

If my surgeon wanted to remove my Gallbladder , id say ok. He is the Doctor and he knows what he is doing. Gallbladders after bariatric surgery can be iffy from what my surgeon said. I would much rather have it out if it looks questionable. Jennifer

Good Luck!!! I had my pre -op as well . it was easy smeazy!
