I am scheduled for May 5th also!

Hello fellow 5th-iers, wow we will have a really big reason to celebrate Cinco De Mayo for sures... Starting the Atkins pre op this Friday and I decided to put myself on a liquid diet 3 days before surgery just to be on the safe side becuase I'm freaked out about my liver...have you all seen the actual surgery? Very interesting... We will have to keep in touch afterwards becuase I'm a little nervous, but excited... I'm self pay going to San Diego, then Mexicali, Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

SHRINKO de Mayo for ALL of us :rolleyes2:

I'm beginning liquid diet on 4/25.

congrats! yes we all have this in common and we have to keep in touch..i also have to start my atkins diet this friday! wooooohoooooo i'm so excited!

I am also getting band on May 5th. I just glad it early on the 5th and not on the 6th after the parting. (just kidding) Started my liquid protein for 2 weeks today. and I go for a stress test and EKG today.

klily, ur 2 funny!!! I love it ...Shrinko De Mayos!!! Has anyone heard of Jus? Its supposed to be a super antioxidant drink, there are so many out there how do you compare? also have you decided on some protien drinks? I have no access up here in AK, so I don't want to buy anything unless it comes highly recommended, ya know what I mean? Also low cost is a bonus, ya know self pay and all... I heard the Choc Whey protein at Wal mart is good any feedback? Thanks all, its almost 12 days...and counting....Oh unhappy news I gained a couple pounds, but I am going to start exercising tomorrow!!! The nurse today said I would heal faster if I exercised before the surgery... All the best...

Hi JaJeane,

I bought the Whey Chocolate from Walmart. And I like it alot. I mix it with 2% milk. Then I went on line at www.biaratriceating.com and they have all kinds of protein you can order and ship out to you. My favorite is there Chocolate peanut butter. And I just got some artic chill frappacino. I am going to order some of there protein bullets for when I come home from the hospital.

Today is my third day of liquid protein. Around 3 my stomach was making alot of noise, so I had a cheese stick with some decaf coffee, it actually held me over to my night time protein.

I see my surgeon tomorrow for my preop visit. I am so excited.

I'm also a "Shrinko Dey Mayo"!!! I'm getting nervous, excited, and uncertain all at the same time. It's like getting ready for my wedding. All the planning, researching, excitement, and now the big day is getting close. I'm going to be married to the band. WOW!!!

Good luck to all of you. I'm on the 6th and would love to hear from any of you if you are feeling up to post after the procedure.

Alright... SHRINKO de Mayo -- SO, SO CUTE!! If I get to schedule in May, that is what I'm calling myself! Where were you when we were trying to come up with names!?! :crying:

Me too....can't wait. I have exactly 100 pounds to lose. So next year we will really celebrate!:crying:

hey how do you guys get that ticker on? I tried everything.:rolleyes2:
