I can't believe that I am having surgery this week. It is starting to feel real. One more day so 2 shakes and lean cuisine and then Wed I am on all clear liquids. I am first surgery Thurs at 7:30am (arrive 6:00am) and they say I should be home shortly after 1200. They told me liquids through Sunday and then pureed/mushy foods like oatmeal, cottage cheese starting on Monday.

Seems like there is such a wide range of diet progression with everyone's surgeons. I feel really confident with my surgeion. He is one of the top in our area.

Getting ready to have this step behind me and start uncovering my skinnier self again!

...good luck with it all... you are so lucky really to be able to go onto foods like that so early. wow.. i was clear liquids the first week, thicker liquids the second, a little thicker again for the third, and fourth, and now introducing some more meats. still finely cut or minced though and not dry . i cant have cottage cheese yet and im over a month out. by the sounds of it you wont have to run the gauntlet of ''lapband hell' like some of us have... and thats great. i hope it all goes really well. Im sure it will.

I'm excited for you---Only one more day, and you are on your way!

 

It's great that your surgeon has a wonderful reputation! Try to focus on that thought if you start to experience any nervousness.

 

Best wishes for your surgery. As soon as you feel like it, let us know how you're doing.
