Hello Everyone--I am scheduled for surgery on 09_22_09, in TJ. I am currently on the pre-op diet, ugh! I am allowed a Protein shake for Breakfast, a Protein Shake for lunch, and a lean cuisine with a cup of salad for dinner.

I am so hungry:sad:. I have been on the pre-op since 09_08_09.

Today I cheated, I feel like crap:mad2:. I had a egg taco for lunch instead of my protein shake!!

I hope I have the strength to not let that happen again!!!!

September 2009 Band Date

Hi! Have you placed your name on the list of 09/09 bandsters ?

Quite a few are getting banded in September. I think several in Mexico.

Keep in touch, and let us know how you are doing. I did the pre-op diet 2 weeks. It helped me to keep the 0 calorie beverages up to 64 oz. Have the liquids already measured out for the day. Have you tried samples of meal replacement drinks?

Vitalady.com - Protein Supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks!

Also, we were told to have a schedule, when to eat and when to drink, to practice for after the band.

Hi Anita,

I have not placed my name on the list not sure how to? I had surgery on the 22nd in TJ. Everything went great, I was so pleased with the doctor and his staff.

Now just trying to get on with the healing. I'm a little sore and my stomach gurgles all the time.

Hi, I just arrived back home after camping for a week.

I'm glad to read that your surgery was a good experience!

Usually, someone will add your name to the 09/09 list, if you ask. I didn't know how to, it was done for me!
