Today is the first day of my pre-op diet. Needless to say I am starving!! To top it all off I have a wedding to go to at 3. I'm praying that The Lord gives me the strength to stay on my plan.

How many incisions do you have?? I have 5 visible and the 6th one is in my belly button.

5. 4 small ones and 1 longer one near my port. Nothing in my belly button.

day 11 post-op

Back at work! Sitting at my desk is a bit uncomfortable because i can feel my port. The port forces me to sit up straight and not slouch. Other than that it's all good.

Post-op day 12. And I have NO regrets!

day 12.

I think my bottled ready to drink Protein drinks have more sugars or something. I say that because my weight has been at a stand still since I started drinking them on Sunday. Im going back to mixing my own protein ASAP! 1 scoop of protein, 7oz Water, 1oz 2%milk. this bottled stuff is very milky.

Premade def has more sugar than any of the powders I have. I'm getting a little tired of the shakes. I heard at support group last night abt a brand that starts with "necta" and has some interesting flavors. I'm gonna try and track it down.

I *think* this might be what the gal was describing: Syntrax nectar brand. Check out netrition.com/syntrax_nectar_page.html

Lottttttts of flavors. Expensive. Think I will try the variety sampler pack.

Just ordered variety pack and a tub of unflavored to try and add to other stuff I'm having.

I start my 10 day pre-op diet on 3 August. It is a soft food only, with a sugar free focus

I start my pre op diet on Aug 1st...my doc allows for small meals and is not just liquid only. Has anyone else had this type of pre op diet

18 days post-op and I can't tell I had surgery.

@tamara3569 - my pre-op diet was a protein shake for breakfast a small meal for lunch and a protein shake for dinner. i had to atleast get 60 to 80 grams of protein in a day. Then 48 hours before surgery only liquids... I have lost 15lbs since the 15th of this month just on the pre-op diet......Surgery is tomorrow morning.....

today is the day....2 hrs and 15 min to go then i will be band..
