Wow:biggrin: I can't belive it I'm going to be band on Thursday.:smile2: I have done great ,the past 2 1/2 weeks I have been on the pre-op diet and it's not so bad at all. I have 2-3 protein shakes and some days I don't eat just have the shakes. It seems that I look at food differnt . I know what I have to do and I'm not going to let food make me fell.

I've been on a preop diet for 7 days now, 3 shakes a day and a healthy choice meal for dinner. Needless to say I'M HUNGRY! lol But excited about getting the band in just 3 days!

Good luck to both of us! :smile2:

Make that Triplets!!! Me too on Thursday! I only had pre-op diet since last friday though. I am breezing through this because I had worked so hard in the last 2 months. I do have too confess though...I wish I would of had a "last meal". My birthday was Sunday and I did have a piece of b-day cake. (very small) but counted the calories in my daily log!!! What a wonderful road all 3 of us have ahead of us!!!

Good luck with your journey. It will be 3 weeks on Thursday for me. I concur....WALK, WALK, WALK after your surgery. The incision pains subsides pretty quick, but the gas pain can be challenging. I had no idea and it came as a surprise to me. So walk as much as you can for the 3-5 days following surgery. I promise you, it will help.

Best of luck to all of you!!!

Me too! I go in Thursday for banding. No pre-op diet from my doctor but I've been trying to behave. I do know I have gained weight since seeing my doctor to schedule my date.. I hope I don't get in trouble. I did ask specifically if I had to do anything pre-op and he said no just NPO after midnight Wednesday.

I have to admit I'm very nervous now.... I also have to give myself Lovenox injections for two weeks after surgery twice a day.

Good luck to all!:tongue2:
