April Bandsters!

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!

      I'm on the other side resting pretty comfortably in my hospital room. Not too much pain just taking it easy.

    Heard a quote on tv yesterday that stuck with me...had to share!

    "YOU are your only problem and YOU are your only solution!"

    Kind of fitting I thought! So when we get depressed and down... realize the problem, gather up your strength and bootstraps and realize you are your own solution!!!! Nothing else!!!

    :)
