Who is your doctor in South Jersey? I was just banded by Dr. Wasser.

Hello,

My surgery date is 12/12/12. I did my pre-surg registration this week. One more nutrition class and a meeting with my surgeon two days before on the 10th. Today is the 2nd day of my liquid diet. It's not as bad as I thought it would be because I try not to think about it. I know it will get harder. I had to help set up a banquet last night. Soooo hard. But I did it. Good luck to you.

I have doctor reich in manahawkin. I see him on monday for a visit and a nutrition class on Tuesday. Here is your doctor located when is your surgery ?

He is in Willingboro but is moving to Moorestown.

Yes at Soch. Dec 14 yikesss.

Hi, My name is Aly and I Live in central Florida. I have the same surgery date as you, but in Tampa, FL with Dr. Lee Grossbard. I am wondering how you are doing on your pre-op liquids and what are you drinking? I weighed in at 290 lbs. before starting the liquids, have you lost any weight on liquids? I would like to correspond with you as sort of a buddy if it's ok with you!

Hi,

I am Dec 4th and in jupiter florida.

I have been doing liquid with Jello and pudding since wednesday. I am down 8.5 pounds. But i think i am coming down with a cold, gosh I hope not I dont want my surgery canceled. It seems like the past few days I have been around so many sick people!!!!

I am Dec. 14th also. I am getting nervous but know this is a piece of cake. I had the gastric bypass 9 years ago and I struggled with recovery. I had a friend that had the lap band and my dad has also and their recovery was quick and speedy. We will both do great! Good luck!

Well today, day 4 I didn't have a headache. Praying I get some energy. I am on broth, water, crystal light and shakes. Anyone taking in something different?

Tomorrow is your day, God bless and don't forget to post!

Had mine Thursday and I also had tomato Soup with skim milk today. No Protein in it but it was filling and dee lish! I had my Protein Shakes, too, and I despise them already. I know I gotta do it and I will do it but I don't like to do it. I can't wait til I can have tuna fish.

Saw the doctor today, he went over what to expect in the hospital. Tomorrow I go to the nutrionist and she will tell me about my pre op diet that will start on Friday. On my way!

Fo far 5 th day pre op. the 3oz of fish is a god send. So far no headache today! Yippee someone respond getting nervous anyone else?
