My doctor just called and had to change the date of surgery. It was supposed to be Sept 8 but now it is 090909 and I am actually happy about it. I just love the date. So my surgery is very soon. I have my pre op on Thursday and that's it.

I think it will be a good idea to go to GNC. I am assuming they know lots of us and are trained to help us with our needs. Has anyone gone there for their protien needs. I have never liked protien drinks of any kind but guess I will have to get used to them

Welcome to 999!

I worry about tests or something delaying surgery. I like 999@9:30, too!

I read that tastes may change after surgery, though I think that may not be so much the case with LAGB. I get protein drinks at my bariatric center. I am planning on ordering some samples- a good way to get variety.

Mine is on 9/9/9 also.

Hi all! I also have a 9-09-09 surgery date! Can't wait to hear how you are all doing next week. Good luck with your pre-op diets, I am getting sick of drinking my meals so I am looking forward to not having an appetite for a little while after surgery:smile2:

I too am getting banded on 9th September and getting quite excited.

Doing the low carb low fat low everything diet to reduce the glycogen stores in the liver and although I am quite hungry the incentive of banding on Wednesday is keeping me going.

The day I started the preop diet I weighed and measured myself (and should really get a photo) because I told myself it is the fattest day of my life, I will never be as heavy again.

Wishing the best of luck to other 090909sters.
