CW: 262 surgery date 11/6/13

Rafe3 I too am having band to rny!!!! My surgery is Monday November 4th at 5am I also love the unjury shakes but in addition to those there is a protein shake called premier protein that I buy at Sams Club. .it has 30 grams of protein 1 gram of sugar and taste even better than unjury it has no after taste!! Congratulations on your surgery and I know you are super excited like me to get rid of this band

I drink the premier one as well. Its one of the best protein shakes I've ever tasted I get it from costco and its not too pricey

I just got word my surgery has been moved to November 18th!! Howdy to all you November surgeries!

I can't wait! I got my band in 08 and I've wanted it out since 2011, but took me a while to work up the courage. I guess I'll try premier shake too. You're only 2 days away!! God bless you on your surgery. Keep us updated

My date is fast approaching. Yikes!!! Nov. 8th. Good luck to all these surgeries this week. I know we have all long awaited this date. I'll be thinking of all of you and wish the best of luck to each and every one of you also.

How's the liquid diet going for you? I am not the best, but I'm doing my best.

Im doing good sticking to liquids. Its tough though but when everyone else is eatting I go take a walk I've lost 7 lbs in only like 2 or 3 days so Im not discouraged.

Wow!! The diff in surgeons never ceases to amaze me. I'm scheduled the day after you and only have a 2 day liquid diet. I'm thinking about doing a few more days on my own... specifically my days off this week Tues,Wen & Thursday then, because I need energy to work, if I feel weak I'll allow myself only high protein foods (no sugar, no junk) for Fri,Sat & Sun then I'm off until Surgery. I can do the days leading up to surgery liquid also except dinner on the 11th because my Dad is coming to town b4 surgery specifically so we can still do Our Thanksgiving dinner. Don't know.. just an idea I'm toying with because I haven't exactly been on my best behavior...

Nov 5th here scheduled for the sleeve, but i'm going to change to RNY. And, probably change the surgery day to a Monday if I can. I'm going from band to RNY.... band just sucks.

why are you choosing RNY instead of Sleeve??? I had sleeve, and because of Bile Reflux have to have RYN, I am scared to death...Surgery on 11-22-13

Thermo2000, wishing you much success on your upcoming surgery! Be sure to keep us posted.

Madds, that is awesome on your WL during the pre-op diet. I have lost 11 pounds so far on my 6th day of the 14 day pre-op. I am just so excited and can't believe it is really happening! ❤11-11-13❤

I'm starting my pre op on Tues. I used to be a heavy drinker in my long ago past. I found that I'm craving alcohol more than food. I've gone almost 2 years without drinking anything other than 4-6oz of red wine once a week and its been 3 weeks since my last glass. I haven't acted on it but I think I just might miss my Saturday glass of wine more than food. Is this weird?
