First one for May???

LOL I am never first for anything... but looks like I may be the only one so far looking ahead to May. I thought initially I would be scheduling for April, but I hadn't taken into account the two week pre-op diet. So... I will be booking tomorrow for the first week of May.

Hope to see more people join me! :D

Wow! Lucky u. I'm on all liquids. Soups, broths, SF jello & popsicles. I'm starving. These protein shakes are starting to taste gross. Starting to make smoothies instead. I'm 7 days preop. Band day is May 6th. I have two more weeks of this diet :-(

I commend those of you that are on liquid diets before surgery. Either it's a good thing because you will be ready for the diet after surgery or bad because you will really be tired of protein shakes by then. Hang in there. It's just a drop in time. :)

Wow, there is a lot of variation in these pre-op diets, hey? A new me - you have to be on it for three weeks? wow, that's a long time especially for just liquids. and then drehn you are able to eat proteins and veg... such a big difference. I guess it is really dependent on the surgeon.

Cat whisperer, I started last week an I go til my surgery day which is three weeks long. I have another two weeks to go. Its very hard. So many parties that I have to attend that I cant eat or drink at. I'm focused on my goal.

Cat whisperer...what is your pre-op diet?

Three weeks is a LONG time for just liquids... hang in there!! :)

I know mine will just be liquids too but it is only for two weeks.

It'll be great to meet and I'm looking forward to learning more tomorrow. I don't even know what size of band we're getting or anything. I have lots of questions for tomorrow. Not during exercise therapy though. I better do a lot of listening in that particular class!!!
