Well this is it. My last pre-band pre-op diet day. Nisrene at TLBC told me to have a juicy steak and some fresh bread today as that seems to be the foods next to impossible to eat post band.

I have done my shopping for post-op but am still not sure about the protien powder. Is there one that is better? Is it added to water?

Is Benefibre something you bandsters take everyday or only when things get a little ruf or stuck, whichever?

My surgery date is April 26th. I would like to make a ticker thing but I don't know how. I know it was posted here somewhere but I can't find it. I know it is ticker.com but how does it get to here? I am technology impaired according to my teenage children so don't give me any grief. You are permitted to laugh with me however.

So this is the last supper day. Apparantly, according to all of you, I will not regret this. I keep sucking in my cheeks and telling my kids that they are going to have one hot mamma on their hands soon.

Dr. Yau said he will be putting my port in my caeseran scar which in my bikini line .....hah what a joke...someone remind me what a bikini is. I know we apply some very hot wax in close proximity to it. I wonder if jabbing that area with needles will be more painful than where he usually puts it. By the way, where does he usually put it?

Hope I'm not yammering too much but I may be freaking out just a tiny bit here.

I'm off to try the ticker thing. Wish me luck.

Thanks again for all of your support and inspiration.

Hi Donna D - I was told that if it had the same or less calories, carbs, and fat as Source yoghurt I could have it, so check out the label on the Egg Beaters... I think that's what I had and it was fine.

I left two messages at tlbc and did not get a reply. I will check out the calories today. I was starving last night. I had some chicken breast and a handfull of corn bran Cereal. I hope I do better today.

Thanks for the info

Hi Donna,

Did you eat during the day?

I didn't have any breakfast but I did eat 650 ml of yoghurt. I whole thing of sf jello, 3 cups of camomille tea, coffee and tea throughout the day. Is it really bad what I did?

Susan Silver - I have just spoken to tlbc and they said NO egg whites, eggbeaters etc. Only Jello, yoghurt, cottage cheese and the other liquids stated on the sheet.

She said if you are desperate you can have some chicken. Now I don't feel so bad. This morning I had 2 yoghurts with my coffee so it felt more like Breakfast. I will do the same at lunch and I think my brain might think it is a real meal if I drug myself heavily!!!!

Have a great day

Hi Donna,

Okay well if they said no, it's no and I stand corrected. Since I started a week early, I am not too worried but I wont have anymore.

I think you did great. What I am trying to do is eat a breakfast lunch and dinner so that I space out my food throughout the day and feel like I am having meals. I had eggwhites for breakfst this morning, then 1 cup of cottage cheese with a SF Jello for lunch. I don't feel particularly hungry unlike yesterday when I wanted to gnaw off my foot!

Keep it up girl!

Susan

I know what you feel. I did the breakfast, lunch and dinner thing yesterday and it was much much better. I have actually lost 7.5 pounds since Friday. Unbelievable.

Have a great day.

You too! This morning when I got got on the scale was down 6.8 lbs since Monday! I will only take my true weight next Monday though. I am liking the results!

Susan

p.s. are you having technical troubles with the changes to the forum?

I am going to write a book called "Dr. Gaffer's Miracle Cottage cheese and Yogurt Diet". Like all weight loss things it will sell millions. Grapefruits & Cabbage Soup got nothin' on me.

Great work on the weight loss so far ladies. Keep up the good work.

ps. There are some glitches with the site since the upgrade.

I am so technology impaired, I haven't noticed anything yet.

Great Idea Andrew - then we can be your testimonials. (for a cut of the gross of course). :heh:

Ditto from Donna D

Will you take your cut in cottage cheese & yogurt?

Are you out of your mind??? I honestly don't think I will be able to either of them after my surgery :faint:

Are you out of your mind???

The jury is still out. I am waiting for more opinions, but they consensus is leaning to me being out of my mind.
