Today is day two of the pre op diet and I hope it is much easier than day 1. The terrible headache and stomach growling and irritableness doesn't work when working 12 hour shifts. I will make it through because I only have 4 days left to get to surgery. I am not much of a chips eater but yesterday at work it seemed like everyone was eating potato chips, Cheetos, Doritos and all I could do was drink water and soup. I wanted those chips!

All I wanted last night was some romaine lettuce and tomato salad with garlic powder and lime juice! But I went home and drank some chicken broth. I am strictly liquids but I can have pudding and cream soups any soups really as long as they are blended to eliminate any solids in it.

I am doing a protein shake in the morning for breakfast and then making protein drinks with unflavored protein powder and crystal light the rest if the day. I am getting my protein in, but I am not a milk drinker at all. I am keeping herbal tea and water handy at all times. I am going to make it It's just hard work. Buy if you want something you have to work for it.

My surgery is on the 23rd and I am also doing a 5 day liquid diet. My surgeons office emailed me a pre and post op diet plan. I would start on a liquid diet a just call your surgeons office early tomorrow morning and see what they have to say.

It is a desk job, I'm a dispatcher but I did take 2 weeks off from my 2nd job at Chili's. -
I have my date set and could have it much sooner but with 2 jobs I have to take the vacation time when It is available. I am only going to get to take 5 days off including day of surgery. Will this be long enough? I am having lap band with plication.

I finally have a surgery date and I am so excited! It'll be on July 23rd and I haven't told many people because it is a very private and intimate choice to me and I don't need any negative words, thoughts or energy around me. I was having a rough time because my mother and boyfriend did not approve but I took heed to suggestions of talking to them about it and answering their questions. It helped a lot. I also explained to them that if the didn't approve that it was fine but I need them to keep those thoughts to themselves. They understood when I told them I needed a support system and I needed it I be them because they are the most important people in my life. My little brother disapproves to but he is only 15. Any other late July surgery dates?

It is very frustrating and disheartening to say that I have no support with my decision to have lapband. I am 25 and have only told a few about my decision. My mother, little brother and boyfriend all think it is an unnecessary choice. Any advice on what to do? I have my last weight loss visit this upcoming Wednesday and will hopefully have surgery at the end of July.
