Hello!!

My name is Julie, I am 21years old. I am married to an awesome man, Brandon. We have 2 gorgeous little girls. Kaylee is 2, and Venissia is almost 7 months. We live in Johnson Valley, California, the nearest big city is Palm Springs.

I am on my pre op diet for the lap band surgery. I should be getting it done sometime next week. We are shooting for 9-21. MY surgeon is Douglas Krahn from San Bernardino.

I am having 3 protein shakes a day and nothing else. It is super hard, but I need to shrink my liver, and I reallly want this surgery.

Thanks for reading! Catch you on the boards!!!

Welcome to LBT! You've found a great place for friendship, information, and support!

The pre-op diet is tough, but I bet you are tougher! My surgeon presented me with a full color picture of my liver, taken during surgery! If you needed any inspiration to stick with that diet, I hope that will provide it!

Looking forward to more of your posts, and good luck next week!

Hi Jewels, Welcome to LBT!!!

Those pre-op diets really suck but all worth it in the end!

Good luck!

Hi Jewels and welcome to LBT! How long have you been on the pre-op diet? I know it is tough, but getting on the scale every couple of days and seeing the pounds come off sure helped make it a little easier.

Thank you all for the wonderful welcome!

I am on day 6 of the diet... I am not sure how many lbs the doc wants off, but I am calling monday and hopefully I get my day!! YAY!!
