Hey Everyone!!! My surgery date is Oct 3rd. Im going to Mexico to Dr. Verboonen. I was told to start my diet 7-14 days before. I chose to do it for 20 just to be safe.

I was told to do 2 baricuetical shakes: 1 for breakfast and lunch and then protein (chicken, fish) and salad for dinner and then a huger control thingy(metamucil) if needed.

My problem: I won't be able to get my pre op diet stuff until friday and even though I've been substituting the baricuetical with slimfast, I haven't lost any weight!!!

Any help on what im doin wrong?? Thanx

Hi Cass! My date is October 16th. I can't wait. I would love to talk anytime. You can email me at traciebrown@windstream.net if you want to talk privately.

Good luck!!!

I'm getting nervous my date is coming soon....Oct. 3rd you all seem to be doing a real pre-op diet my doc just has me on small sensable portions and protien shakes till day before and then liquids that day???? I have not lost weight...I'm at 273 hoping to be alot less soon!!!!

Brandie

Hi, I am getting banded on October 8 and starting my preop diet tomorrow. I am very nervous that I will be really grumpy on the low carb diet (I was the last time I tried it). Anyone going through this too?

Thanks...I am excited for you too....The day u have ur surgery is my pre-op day...I will be praying fro you that day....Have u been trying to slow down on the portions and drinking etc.? I find myself still cramming hurridely....gotta get a real GRIP on that!

R U exercising yet? I have been going to our YMCA everyday this week..at 5 am to swim or take a spinning class....My husband had the R-N-Y in November and has lost 200 pounds...not even a year out! It was fuinnjy about yesterday cause he bikes 20 miles x3 weekly and yesterday he was amazed that I could keep up as well as I did! I hope I can keep this up! LOL!

Thanks for the list...I will be praying for us all!
