Blessings on your surgery tomorrow! I will say a prayer for your peace and that it goes well for you. Keep us in the loop!

Congrats on your big day! I just said a prayer for you. You will do fine!

Good luck to every one else!

Good Luck today, my prayers are with you.

Congratulations . . . it will be over before you know it. I can't wait to hear how it goes for you and I wish you the best of luck.

I can't wait until October. I need some help before surgery. Can someone give me some kind of ideas of Breakfast, lunch, dinner etc for shrink the liver dieting. I want to make sure I do everything right because once they get in there I sure don't want to have to do it again. What Protein drinks are the best? Are we suppose to start drinking those before surgery or afterwards?

Congratulations. I'm sure by now you are out of surgery, possibly on your way home by now. Prayers are with you.

My doc had me on an atkins type diet for the week before my surgery to make sure there wasn't fatty liver problems. He said to eat a lot of protein, and stay away from the carbs, rice, potatoes, bread, etc. I tried several protein shakes then too to see which ones I preferred.

Congratulations to all of you about to be banded and good luck on your journey.

As for shrinking the liver, some surgeons will put you on a pre-op liquid diet--protein shakes, broth, cream Soups, sugar/fat free popsicles, sugar/fat free Jello and the like was what I did for 3 weeks (supposed to be 2 but I caught a cold and my surgery was bumped back a week). I could have a small amount of lean Protein until 4 days before surgery, and I had either 2 hard boiled eggs or 2 unbreaded chicken tenders (frozen from Costco), both with just salt and pepper. I lost 25 lbs on it.

I guess you have had your surgery by the time I seen your post but as soon as I finish this I will pray that everything goes well for you.I have not received my date yet but I am very scared and need prayer also.Please let us know how you are. Sherrie

Your on your way....how exciting :biggrin:!!!!!!!!

God Bless you and Keep you... Good Luck...

my day is the 29th 2 !1 good luck
