April 18: THE BIG DAY!



Recommended Posts

I got a date!!! Woo-hoo! I will be joining you all in Bandland on April the 18th.

Started today with the liquid diet--boy, am I hungry. I really hope I have some restriction during the healing phase (before first fill) because this is really hard--and I'm only on day 1.

C'est la vie!

I'm so thankful for this site and all of your advice, etc.You guys have been great!

Yeah, we are glad to have you. I am fairly new at being banded and boy is it a different world. Have to be real careful on what you are eating and how it is eaten! Best of luck and congratulations!

Congrats! The first 3 days on the PreOp diet were hard for me. After that it was smooth sailing.

April 18th is a very good day (my birthday)

Yea Dana!!!!! You've got your date!!!!!!

I'm so happy for you!!!!!

Now, why do you have to do the liquid diet for so long? I'm being banded on April 3rd and I only started my pre-op diet this past Friday. Hang in there.

Dana,

Did you ask your surgeon if he wanted to do the pre-op diet with you?:heh:

Good luck, I know how hard my two weeks are. Some days I could eat a horse and others food just doesn't look appealing. Mostly work is helping to keep me occupied since I'm trying to get lesson plans together for 7 days for 7 different grade levels. Luckily, some of the grade levels can have combined lessons.

Thanks everyone! I'm really excited here--on my second day of liquids--low carb, etc. I'll have to say that the caffenie in coffee is really surpressing my appetite. I've never been a big coffee drinker--but this is not bad...:rolleyes:

***Audra--I used to teach 12th grade Eng. and 7th grade language arts---I know how tough it is. :D I just love teachers--it's the hardest job in the world, I think. ***You don't have much longer, do you? Just a few more days...We'll be April 2006 bandsters together. :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
