Getting the Band on June 11th.

Starting my two day Clear liquids pre-op diet tomorrow. Not looking forward to that, but I don't think I'll have a problem considering the horror stories I've heard about liver bruising and bleeding. I've been eating low carb for six weeks, so I should be okay. :)

Anyways, nice to meet everyone and I look forward to future threads! :grouphug:

    I foresee a lot of sugar free JELL-O and popsicles.

    Thanks!

    Good luck with your surgery - you must be so excited!!! You'll do great on your liquids.. and your postop diet. I didn't really think it was bad at all. Keep us posted when you feel up to it!!

    Well, I'm not really even hungry. It's weird. I do keep walking by the fridge though wanting to pull something out of it besides JELL-O. :thumbup:

    Well, I got it. Yesterday was a little rough but the liquid Lortab took the edge off. Today I'm feeling much better and as promised, I'm not hungry which is a good thing since I'm clear liquids for a few more days followed full liquids, then soft foods, etc. The worst part has been crushing up my HBP medication so I could take it. Disgusting. :laugh: Hopefully, I won't need it too much longer. :thumbdown:

    The doc said my liver was a bit big which I don't understand since I thought I followed his instructions to the letter. I guess I was doing something wrong though. Oh well, it wasn't bad enough for him to pull out luckily.

    Great mews. Synastar!

    Don't worry about the liver, since it's all over now!

    What's HBP medication? (I should probably know, but drawing a blank?)

    High Blood Pressure.
