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!

Hi' date=' just joined a few days ago, I start my protein shakes, multivitamins tomorrow. I am a little nervous about the diet, I am ready there is just so many tempting things and it does not help I have a teenage son who can eat the junk foods, I am just going to have to think about what I am doing to lose weight, because that is the goal here. I chose this surgery because it just seem to fit my lifestyle, I am sooo ready for it, and I have good support, my hubby is going to do the same diet, he said not the shakes but he is just so understanding about the whole thing I think this would be hard if I did not have his and my son's support on it. I hope I do well with this pre-surgery diet, I hope after a few days it will be a routine and then maybe I won't be so worried.[/quote']

I start mine tomorrow too. When is your surgery date?

You are right...after about 3 days it gets easier...as long as you have a protein shake that is good. Good luck.

I start mine tomorrow too. When is your surgery date?

My surgery date is April 30, one week from my 41st birthday, what a birthday present this is to myself.

Have you started your pre op diet? if so how is it going? Can you tell I am a little worried about mine/! LOL!

Good luck on this journey!

Yes, I started on the 18th only 3 optifast daily and unlimited sugar free jello and broth. It is very hard. I cheated once and had 2 hard boiled eggs. But I will try not to cheat any more.

My surgery is in 3 days and while I've been fine, I'm suddenly a bundle of anxious nerves... thinking about taking a xanax and going to bed! ugh...

Take a Xanax and go to bed . It will be ok.

I am scheduled for April 26th. I start the pre-op diet on April 19th. I am supper excited. I think my kids are excited for me too. We went shopping yesterday and they would see a dress they likes and would say " look mommie you will be wearing that next spring." I said "YES I WILL!!"

My surgery date was Friday April 13th! Everyone has been so helpful to me so far in my journey!! Can't wait to heal and start feeling a little better!
