Great.. We got this off to pre op diet tomorrow!

Good luck to you and I will check to see how you are doin because i am having my surgery on Aug 20 as well!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for. God Bless

Mine 28th, seems ages away, I wish I could fast forward to the day.

I'm getting my band on the 20th as well. I survived my first day of protein shakes but omg do I crave real food sooo bad!!! And what sucks more is that I got my letter saying I passed my NCLEX test to become a nurse and I can't really go out and celebrate because I can't eat or drink....I can dance tho! Lol but yea... The shakes are killin me! Anyone have any tips for the vanilla flavor? How to make it more appealing?

If you can have decaf coffee and like iced coffee make a drink of half cold coffee and half vanilla shake with some ice. It's been my saving grace!

Good luck!

Good luck! It will be worth it

Good luck to you and I will check to see how you are doin because i am having my surgery on Aug 20 as well!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for. God Bless

Thank you. Okay let's stay in touch. Good lack to you! We can do this!

@kpizzle can you have fruit or just shakes?? My pre-op diet consists of protein and vegetables. I've gone through stalks of celery like no bodies business. What are you allowed to have?
