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!

Lisa-I am so happy everything went well-I am so happy for you!! My surgery is tomorrow & I am running last minute errands so I can stock the fridge/pantry with goodies for when I return. Also have about 6 loads of laundry to do-not sure when I'll feel up to doing it again.

Don't forget popsicles

How long before the pain stops? The meds don't seem to touch the pain. Hiccups very, very bad!

Staring my preop clear liquid diet tomorrow. Having my surgery on Thursday the 19th, finally after almost a year!!

Don't forget popsicles

Got my popsicles! Soups, sugar free caramel, protein shots, protein jello, more protein powder, gatorade, carrot juice, instant decaf coffee, tea, gas-x, fiber gummies, and antacid. I know there's more (almost had a heart attack when I saw the total). I think I'm prepared!

Can't wait to swap stories!!

Have to be at the surgical center in twelve hours. In the tub now, better shave my legs and scrub the ol' belly button!

Dang!!! You're so much better prepared than I am.

I'm curious-how many of you were told that you could have a 'last supper'? My doc said to go for it. He told me I could eat ANYTHING I wanted, but nothing after midnight. I ate a bunch of cr*p and now I feel so gross! I wish I would have stuck to my liquid diet.

My surgery isn't until next Thurday the 26th and I have been making mental notes from all the post I have been reading lately. I went to wal-mart today and bought my first ever scale. I have never own a scale before.....

I still have to get all my juices, popcicles, jello's and broth. I have lots of protein poweders to start off with. I think I need to get a heating pad too. Is there anything else I should absolutely have?

I will have my last supper the day before my pre-op diet. Going to get me something goooooddd.

My 5 yr old twins will be eating all my jello's and popcicles. I had to make them a smoothie today with my protein powered just so that they could tasted it...Good for me they didn't like it.

Mine didn't tell me that but I did. I had rice with my salmon and I had a cookies n cream concrete at culvers. Bad I know but glad I did I feel like I'm starving today.

Been on liquid pre-op for 5 days now......soooooo over the jello and soup already! Especially when I made my family tacos tonight. Only 10 more days to go (UGH!)...actually only 9 as I will be NPO on the 27th. But it will be worth it in the end. Will be banded on the 27th and still have so much to do before then including getting more of the vitamins/supplements for afterwards as well as the Isopure protein powder. Has anyone else gotten the Isopure powder? If so...is the chocolate good?

I have been waiting for so long for this and the time was going by so slowly and now suddenly, things are going by so fast. I had intended on getting sample proteins from companies and getting vitamins and supplements from Bariatric Advantage but still haven't. This company came highly recommended to me. Has anyone else had any experience with them?

Good luck everyone in April.......hope you are all doing well.

Also....does anyone have any idea why my ticker is not posting correctly....I use to have it on my signature...not sure what happened after I updated my weight.

Help please
