stephanieg89' date=' I told work that I was having surgery, but did not specify what kind. I don't think they can legally ask what surgery you are having, it would violate your right to privacy.

To everyone being banded in March, please know that you are in my prayers! I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Not being required to do liquid, but think I will anyway, just due to ease. It will be difficult, as I still have a husband and five kids to cook for. I am thinking that I may be doing a lot of freezer cooking in the next two weeks!

Someone mentioned peanut butter powder...I would sure love to know where to get it!

Hang in there, everyone, our time is coming![/quote']

PB2 you can get it Hy-Vee in their organic department

I am a little nervous! I was suppose to have all of my pre-op appointments last Friday, then Snawmageden happened here in the show me state... Now I have everything piled into 1 day Thursday!!! My surgery date is the 15th hoping everything still plays out!!

I am also on day 5 of liquid & am down 3 1/2 lbs & was thrilled. Congrats on being down 11 lbs, that is awesome!!!!!

I'm scheduled for march 27th! Very excited!

I continue to read that most of you been on a preop diet for multiple weeks. I was placed on a diet starting today. 2 days three shakes plenty water. 2 days clear liquid. am I the only one told one week

I am new here and have a surgery date of March 4th. I started a two-week pre-op diet on Feb 18th, which for me is 4 Ideal Fast protein shakes for a total of 900 calories plus unlimited non-starchy veggies, raw or boiled or steamed, but no butter or oil on them. The first 5 days I was brutally hungry but now not so much!

Anyone else drinking the Ideal Fast shakes? They are so gross. I add abut twice the amount of water and just choke them back. I hate sucralose!

March 8th is my day! I'm ready to DO THIS!!!
