Any March 2014 Bandsters out there? My date is March 3. I've been trying out different Protein powder mixes and I got my Magic Bullet blender ready for action. Other than that, just counting down. I hope there are others getting banded on my same timeline... are you as nervous as I am?

Congratulations!!!

Day 2 of the pre-op diet was not great, but I made it through. 12 days to go.

Tomorrow March 5th is surgery!!!!

Good luck tomorrow Nancy...I will be in Noblesville for the nite tomorrow and surgery 8am Thursday.

Very anxious and nervous...

Clbsmm2000...it does get a little easier. Good luck with preop.

You can do this...just stick to it...One day at a time!!

Thank you. I was encouraged to step on the scale and see I'm 6 lbs lighter than I was Sunday night!! Of course Sunday night I had just eaten my last meal. Lol

Good luck to you both on your surgeries tomorrow and Thursday.

I'm 14 lbs down preop....wanted 20 but will see....remember Protein is important....I was only doing one shake a day...do at least 2.

Thanks for well wishes...

I had my surgery yesterday. It went good. I'm really sore and not to much gas. Good luck everyone! I lost 10 lbs on my preoperative diet.

Went to GNC today to start my stash! They let me taste the GNC banana cream shake, it tastes GREAT!! They also have a special buy one get one half off. I bought the vanilla and banana cream. I'll prob blend a vanilla (it was kinda sweet) and a Greek yougurt for a high protein smoothie..(when I'm at that stage) . The shakes have 25grams of protein, 2 grams of sugar and 3 grams of fiber, 6 carbs and 170 cal. Just thought I'd share. I know everyone is always looking for protein options that are tasty.

Just left my preop appt with surgeon, Sugar buster pre-op diet starts today!!!
