Good Morning! I'm Pre-Op, 2 months into insurance required 6 month weight loss, and had my first appt with my surgeon last week. I have been looking around this site and am very glad to see all of the support!!!

good morning too you and welcome.

I am being banded this Wednesday.....2 more days!!!!!!! I have been on my preop diet for a week now.....and I can tell you it for the most part has been OK. Not excellent by no means but here I am 2 days before my surgery...and the only cheating I have done was a small salad with roasted chicken. NO dressing, etc.....Just missed the chewing...

But other than that.....I love the protien powder from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.. it is real smooth tasting and does not clump.

Good luck to you

hoosierpoms - thanks for responding! It's so great that you have your surgery on Wed! You get to begin your journey of being a healthy person. What, if any, pre-op testing did you have to have? How are friends/family responding to your banding decision?

I have had my dietician visit, my pshy exam, and surgeon visit and also my peop visit. I had recently done a complete blood work up the month I saw the surgeon, and so that was not re done. I am having an EKG the day of surgery, not sure why that was not done prior to but???

I am excited to say the least.

Everyone is being supportive. My husband and I had a argument on friday, 4 days into my preop liquid stage. Honestly it was both of us, and allot was because I had not eaten since early that day....and we were at Wendys....

I didnt get anything, but it was hard.

I have done good all weekend though and am waiting for the time to come to go and ride bikes tonight.

Hi Forestcat5! :wave: Welcome to the forum. This is a great place to get info, support, and pass the months leading up to surgery! I know it can seem like an eternity, but it will be here before you know it! Best of luck to you!
