So Im getting to the end of this pre op phase. I have 5 more days of the liquid pre op diet and Monday the 4th I will join the land of the banded ones. :-) Yee Haw! Im getting so excited! I have left no stone unturned. I have researched my brain out. I have joined a Lap Band support group. I have you lovelies and my close group of family and friends to support me. Yay! Now I just have to get it done.
The pre op liquid diet is manageable. I have to do two Medifast shakes per day and one under 500 calorie sensible meal per day. It hasnt been bad. I have had a couple of moments but nothing I havent experienced before and got through. (passing Starbucks by). So here I am, 41 and getting ready to start to get my life back. Its really an amazing feeling. This time next week I will probably just be returning from the hospital post op! (I have an overnight stay).
Wish me well. I will keep you all posted. I gotta go stock up for the liquid/pureed stage post op!
God Bless!:smile2:
