Hey Ladies and Gents!

Having my Surgery done April 4th. Starting my Pre op diet tomorrow. They said Protein shake for Breakfast, small low fat/sugar lunch, Protein Shake for dinner until surgery. Any suggestions for the low fat/sugar lunch suggestions?

Im heading down to LA to get it done. They will arrange for me to be driven to and from there as I live in San Jose, Ca. My hubby is going to come with me for support. Hopefully they will give me enought pain meds for the ride home. Heh Woot! I'll be a Hollywood starlet by next summer haha!

So who else is getting banded in April? I could use a band-buddy for my journey!

4/16 for me in CT! Today was my first day for the liquid diet and it went very well!

Where in CT? I'm banded on 3/19 and I'm in CT too! From new haven

Well I think I'm in ketosis because it's Saturday morning before 8 and I'm already out and about. My energy is higher than normal but my pre-op calories are barely getting to 600. I'll take it for now

Was discharged from hospital last night. Apparently the tumor was behind my spleen not somewhere it would ever have been found unless I had gone in for lap band surgery. So praise the Lord for that! Still waiting on lab results to be sure it was indeed benign. It was the size of an Easter egg! Doc said I should heal in about three weeks and can get the band then. After this pain...I bet it will be a breeze. I am more susceptible to getting sick like pneumonia and meningitis now but that is ok if it saved me from a different cancer down the road. I guess a tumor that size can cause a spleen to bleed internally and you can die from just that! By the time you become symptomatic it's over! I have more reasons now to be healthy....if I had said no lap band i could have died from being overweight! We just don't know do we!!!!??? Anyway, will keep y'all posted!

Good luck....so excited for you!! Let us know how you got on. I'm getting a stomach just thinking about it...I go Thursday.

Nine days - scheduled for the 18th.

Need to go get lab work done in the next few days. Haven't done well on the liquid diet for the last couple of days. Too much socializing. At friends house, we all gather, bring food, and well.... I'm a good cook.

But back at it hard today.

I'm also in So Cal.I live in Palmdale and spend a fair amount of time in LA.Would love to be part of a support group.I was banded on 4/6/2012.

Good luck loreebyrd! Thinking of you and hoping it all goes well.

So not feeling soup today! I will do it, because I know its important but not really into the idea.

Shakes are much better.

Got the OK from my PCP after stress test and ECG...so it looks like I am getting banded on Thursday! Is it normal to be freaking out and having second thoughts???
