Hi everyone, I'm due to go in for my surgery at 7am tomorrow. We have an hour and a halfs journey to get there so it will be an early start! I have been on my pre op diet.....shakes and fruit n veg for 7 days and have lost 10 pounds already.....I can't believe that, I've never lost that much in one go no matter which diet I have done. I think thats unnerved me more than ever because now I'm doing the "do I really need this band thing???" I know I do though because I will just put it back on if I don't. So that leaves me with 59 pounds to go which I hope my band will help me to lose.

I'm really up and down today, nervous but excited and kind of relieved that its actually happening.

Good luck to anyone else who is going in over the next few days. I'll post when I'm back out and have managed to get through the gas pains I'm expecting having read oh so many posts on it !!

xxx:lol:

Good luck weightinggame! Hope you get through the surgery ok and you recovery is troublefree!!!!!

Thanks Ro, doing some mental excersises in preparation.....it's the most excersise I've ever done tehee. Trying to get my head round drinking these supposedly chocolate protein shakes for another 3 weeks....You doing any pre-op yet?

:smile: I'm sure you'll be fine Weighting game!! See if you can find some other flavours it really does help!!

I've been going on the preop about 8 days now! I'm doing ok and luckily i don't totally hate Optifast. I have tried their new strawberry shake which is nice and a change from the chocolate shake I've been mostly drinking! I'm pretty good with repetition though so I'll cope :mad2:

Hi,

I will also be having surgery tomorrow but I am scheduled for 10am. Starting to get really nervous. Last night should have been my last night to have dinner but for some reason I fell asleep early and missed dinner. Now today all I get is Clear liquids...

How I wish it was Tuesday already... then I would be heading home...

Weightx, have you tried the protein bullets? If you aren't a fan of the shakes this might be a better alternative for you. I like the New whey bullets in fruit punch flavor. Some people can drink them straight, but I have to mix it into my Crystal Light.

Bon Voyage to BandLand!
