Banding on March 24th!!! Yay!!!



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for banding on March 24th. I will start my pre-op diet this Friday.

I am a bit nervous. More so for the pre-op diet.

I am doing this for my children. I have had high cholesterol since I was 20, I am now 37. I want

to be here for my children for many years to come.

I never thought I would have a date set. I have been wanting this for two years and finally have everything

approved and lined up.

Soooooo ready. Just need to make a menu for the next two weeks.

I can have a shake for Breakfast and a morning snack. Small light lunch and supper.

Adkins diet.

What kind of diet do they have you on?

I begin my pre-op diet tomorrow. I am on a 2 week liquid only diet. They have me on 4 Protein shakes a day. The shakes are called "Chike" and they are 190 calories each. So my shakes, lots of Water, and some sugar free Jello. I'm allowed chicken and beef broth as well as sugar free ice popsbut I am going to try my hardest to stay away from that. What about you?

I will. I started it today. Still trying to figure out what I can have. Kids are not giving enough time to read everything. I have my appt on Monday for the preop visit. Hoping to find more out then.

So far I have done 3 shakes, peanuts and ordered a dry...grilled chicken sandwich from burger king and tossed the bun. Had two cokes today.

Starting officially tomorrow.

When my tummy started to growl between my first and second shake...I drank the second and took all my Vitamins and drank Water.

Took care of it.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
