Well, My surgery was on the 12th of May,2010 and I had a few minor problems but all and all every thing went well.
On the 28th of April I started my preop diet of 4 bottles of Diabetic Boost and water. It was rough...I will admit to cheating a few times because I just could not stand being so hungry. A few on the first week I had some saltines and the odd tsp of peanut butter. The second week I succumbed to peanut butter once, lol.
The first 3 days I was home I could not keep anything down. I came home on Thursday the 13th of May but by Saturday night I was able to keep chicken broth down oh and it tasted so good. I don't thing I will ever be able to drink another bottle of boost ever again.
We are the 6th of June and I am down 26.6 and my energy level is stating to get higher and I'm starting to walk, at the High School Track, in the mornings, mine you I have not been able to since we have had rain since Thursday.
At the moment I'm off work, took 6 weeks to recoup but I've decided that I will take a few more weeks off. Oye, I dear say that my boss will not be happy but I have to take care of myself because no body else will.
So that's my progress as of today, and I'm happy.:thumbup:
Well the date has been chosen for my lapband surgery, May 12...I'm a bit nervous:crying: about the whole thing...last time I had surgery was when I got my appendix out...oh, about 30 years ago...and I've been overweight for so long that it's kind of a comfort thing I guess...but this is good, it will be good for me, hopefully get me back on track...but I thing I'm more nervous for the pre operation prep...my Dr. has be on Boost only for the 2 weeks prior...oy...it's gonna be a tuff 2 weeks:smile2:
