Today is my pre-op and I am on sugar-free OVERLOAD! I cannot stand the taste of so many different artificial sweeteners. I am going to balance it all out. So far so good, I think. I had a half of Protein Shake and I know I need more Protein than that so tonight I'm going to have one before going to bed.

My surgery is July 5th..less than a week! Omg ready to be healthy & not tired & obese!!!

Had my Realize band put in yesterday. All went well, and thankfully no gas pains; Second day out and I'm just groggy and a little sore. How about you?

Yes, I will be banded July 26th. Beginning my Protein Shakes and low cal liquids on July 10th. This will be a true test of just how serious I am about making this tool work.

Pre-Op is going, today was hard being with the family for the 4th of July BBQ and not really eating what I'd like to, of course...but I survived, so that's good! Wow, 5 shakes that's a lot. I have to do 1 shake for Breakfast, 1 for lunch and a lean cuisine or equivalent for dinner, 1 snack that can be another shake but I got popcorn/cheese stick/yogurt to mix it up. I need to go buy some unflavored Protein to add more to stuff. Not sure I could do Only shakes, I might go more nuts then I already am, lol..you're lucky you're not hungry, I'm waiting for that phase, lol. Keep me updated! Best of luck!

I have sort of an advantage as I live by myself with my dog. My girlfriend canceled our 4th celebration so that I could sit here by myself and not have to worry about outside influence. Prio to starting prep liquid, I cleaned out my fridge so there is nothing in there to go to - it works for me. Yesterday I had my pre surgery work basically just a blood draw and hospital procedures. Today I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy, on the endo dr found a little hernia that he will fix during the lap-band surgery. The colonoscopy was a failure as the eves prep didn't do its job and he could not see anything, it sure felt like it did it's job but I wasn't the guy looking down my colon so I guess that will have to be rescheduled but won't interfere with the lap band. Have you had your pre surgery tests yet?
