I'm being sleeved oh July 16th and I'm worried that going on a 8 day cruise I just returned from Sunday was a bad idea . My doctor only requires me to be on a high protein low carb diet for 1 week but I feel like I messed up . I'm hoping that some of my not so healthy choices don't effect my preparation for next week ...

I was thinking maybe for my last few days before surgery I should try a liquid diet, I just want to make sure I'm good to have the procedure... Do u guys think this is a bad idea being my Dr said high protein low carb not liquid?

Hello all ! Two of the major things I wanna be able to do is not have to request a seat belt extender on a plane, and be able to tuck in my shirt. I haven't been able to comfortably tuck my shirt in years, I would be embarrassed because of that lower tummy pouch.

Yeees exactly!!

I havent yet had my procedure done, but reading post like yours inspires me! I got excited thinking about the day I would be able to fit a large. Thank you for sharing

My Surgery is not yet sched but I kno it will be in July. I'm scheduled to go on a cruise the end of June and preferred I waited until I came back. My Dr told me that for my preop diet I would not need to do all liquids but to eat low fat for that week. I've been reading a lot of your post and notice a lot if people have to do the all liquid diet. I'm just a bit confused about that, as far as the low fat diet goes Im not sure where to begin. I want to be as prepared as I can before my date comes. Does anyone have any suggestions on low fat preop diet? Thanks in advance

Yes I have a nutritionist but I was only require to see her once. I'm going to call my surgeon and clarify exactly what he requires.. Congratulations to your daughter and her 60lb loss!!

I'm not sure what NUT stands for I'm Srry new to the terminology. I have to double check on the diet with my doctor if it is low carbs ill be relieved at least I have a format to follow thank you!

I'm curious also...good luck to you as well

Hello Everyone, I'm new to the site, I was a member of the Lapband forum, after doing research and being able to ask questions I decided to go with the sleeve. I'm excited about the new journey that I am about to begin and happy to have a site such as this to help guide me...

Thank you guys for your comments looking forward to sharing this journey and learning from others journeys

Hello, I'm feeling at bit overwhelmed at the moment and really need to vent to those who understand. I went to the weight loss information seminar today and I got a overwhelming amount of info about all the different bariactric surgeries. By the time i ha gotten all this info and a nurse tried to convince me that lapband was the wrong choice I freaked! I could have had a date in may but I decided I wasn't ready. Im graduating on the 19th and going on a cruise in June. After that I think I should be ready to decided on a date.....

I was confused to why the nurse would question my choice ... She had, had the sleeve so I guess she felt it was better ... Definitely thru me off...

Congrats!!

Thank You LadyDiva!!! I wish you Good luck as well!

Hello, everyone Patiently waiting on the call to see if I'm approved. While waiting I've been going back and forth in my thoughts whether I should even get banded. I'm sure it's just a nerves but I wanted to share and see if anyone else has experience this?

Catfish87, You hit the nail on the head, that exactly how I feel sometimes. Thank you for sharing that! Newbeebee, Thank u as well, and good luck to you both !!!

You guys are absolutely correct, thank you for your views on the situation. I think the scariest part for me is the anesthesia.

It def is a roller coaster ! I've been thinking so much I've been dreaming about the procedure...

Today I went to my appointment for my Psy analysis, which went well according to the psychologist. Now the waiting begins, I'm not sure of the process, I'm hoping soon I will be finding out if I'm approved and my surgery date.

Prettythick1 thank you, that's more info than what I've gotten so far from the doctors. After my visit I was just told they would be in touch. Now I'm just waiting to see what's next.

Thank you fir ur support !

I understand how you feel, I don't even have a date yet for surgery and those thoughts cross my mind. I have to remind myself that some of those favorites are the ones that are helping me gain weight and be unhealthy. My prayers go out to you! The unknown can be scary I'm learning that now as I go through this pre process..
