I just updated my workout list because I started couch 2 5k. I really like Black-Eyed Peas(I've gotta feeling, pump it, Boom Boom Pow, Imma be) Sugarland- All I wanna do Lady Gaga- Bad Romance Fireflies- Owl City Hey Soul Sister- Train Paper Planes- MIA(from slumdog millionaire) Suddenly I see- KT Tunstall 21 Guns- Green Day I've got a lot more but these are some of my favorites!

Melissa, I did have to have the breath test. All you do is breath into a little bag and then they have you drink this little mixture of liquid that tastes like really strong lemonade, and then 5 minutes later you breath into another bag. Then they use the bags and run some sort of test and they let me know in about 5 minutes mine was negative! I think if its positive you just get antibiotics. Anyway it was really simple and by far the easiest preop test I did! I'm having surgery next wednesday. Good luck with your preop stuff!!!

Hey I am having surgery the same day as you! I'm on day 3 of my diet and each day is a little better. I'm not sure what you're allowed to have but I really like the Lipton Cream of chicken soup packets that you just add to water, and campbells soup at hand tomato too! Hang in there...I've heard it will get better. Glad to find a surgery day buddy! ALso try the muscle milk protein shakes. They are wayyy better than any others I have tried! :blushing:

My name is Erin. I am 24 years old, I am a nurse and a softball coach and I am currently scheduled for LAP-BAND® on August 11th!!!! I attended seminar late June and it's been a whirlwind since then. My Dr. does a lot of preop testing. I've had psych, dietary, EKG, pulmonary function test, echo, sleep study, chest x-ray, and labwork. Everything came back normal! I am self-pay but getting a discount because I work at the hospital I am having it at. Also getting to do payroll deduct but still a lot of money. I am so excited and know it will all be worth it! Excited to be a part of this forum and get to meet other August bandsters!!! Here's my stats- Height- 5'9" Highest weight- 340 Current weight-332 Pre-op diet 8/1/10 Surgery 8/11/10 Excited to get to know everyone! Anyone have any tips for my 10day liquid diet??
