That's right... I gained 8 pound since my visit to see the surgeon initially on the 11th!! I had my exercise and nutrition classes today and while I was there I was able to do my pre-op with the surgeon today. He wants me to start the diet tomorrow so it looks like I will be having surgery on the 10th or 11th of June. SOO I had a huge pantry cleaning and shopping spree today. I did great at the store picking out high protein low carb foods. This part of the pre-op diet won't be so rough but I dread the clear liquids day! I've been looking into gym memberships and I think I might do 24 hour fitness. I would kinda like to do Premier Lady Fitness but it is by contract...yuck. I just think that I would feel more comfortable and more likely to actually go if there were all women there. I wanna do water aerobics and the Zumba classes
Eventually I wanna start taking salsa classes also. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be getting the LAP-BAND® AP standard. I was excited to hear that I only have to wait 5 weeks before my first fill and that he will give me anywhere from 4-6 cc on the first fill. The 2nd and 3rd are 1-1.5cc and then 0.4-0.5 thereafter. This has been a pretty exciting day overall. I just started seeing a guy that I used to go to high school with and I told him about the surgery. Kinda embarassing but he was very supportive. Well, I better get to bed so I can start my pre-op diet in the morning. Night all!!
