[CarolD771 1]

Hi,

Last week I had my surgery moved up from July 7th to June 30th. This afternoon I had a message from the office that "They had a cancelation and would I like to move up to June 16th?" WOW!!!! I just said YES.:biggrin:

That means I start my 2 week pre-op diet next Tue.

YAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Now I'm really excited:laugh:. I have to get all my Protein Powder and supplies.

I started my liquid diet today and my surgery is June 9th. Not sure how I am going to do only on liquids, but I have to do it. I wish everyone well. The next couple of weeks are going to be hard.

Hi Ladies,

What's on your Pre-op Diet. Mine doesn't sound as bad as most I've seen.

start 2 weeks before surgery

1. 4 Protein Shakes with 8 ozs. 1% Milk

2. 1 meal consisting of 4 ozs. lean Protein and veggies

3. 2 servings of fruit

+ 64 ozs. or more of calorie free fluids

I haven't received my day before directions yet.

Some I've seen are just shakes or worse Clear Liquids?

Mine is 4 weeks of:

Hi protein low carbs shakes with 6 oz Water for Breakfast and lnch

4-6 oz protein and a green leafy vegetable for dinner

64 oz of Water per day

The first week I totally biffed it!! but now i've buckled down and got serious. I know i've got hunger induced delirium though. I've been thinking about cupcakes for 3 days, and i dont even like cake. Yesterday I saw a peppermint patty commercial and it was the most glorious thing i've ever seen. The grocery store by my house just put out these single serving seafood packs. 4 oz of salmon, or tilapia, or scallops, etc for $1 each. I bought enough to get me through the whole pre-op stage. they're so convenient.

KBertinelli,

You are so close, 1 week to go. We are all afraid we can't do it but, we Are going to make it work this

time:thumbup:!! Once banded you won't feel hungry all the time. I had my gallbladder out 3/31/10. I felt awful for 4 days and then it got better. Yup, 2 surgeries in

two and half months. Not my idea of fun but, had to be done. I'll be right behind you June 16th!!

Good Luck,:smile2:

I, too, am a June Bandster. My date is June 15th. I am a mixture of several emotions right now, but it all leads back to excitement and joy that I am able to take a step toward finally being healthy again. Congrats to all the other June Band members out there.
