Today is Day 5 of my pre-op shake diet. I'm really growing to dread "meal time". I guess it doesn't help that I've also been sick the past few days. All I want is a little soup. I've been eating my vegetables for dinner. I never thought I'd ever be looking forward to eating asparagus and cauliflower! I'm doing this for a reason. It will all be worth it when I start dropping pounds. This is the first time in years that I actually have a chance to get down to a reasonable size. Right now my first goal isn't even getting out of plus size clothes sizes. I've been shopping in plus size stores for so long! It really doesn't bother me. My first goal is to be able to shop in the regular section of stores that sell XXL like Old Navy or Target. I guess that would make my first goal a size 18. From here at 4X, that seems like a long way off, but I know I can do it!

I told him what you wrote! Lol He's kind of being responsible for his own meals. He said he'd do the grocery shopping, too.

So today I began my shakes in preparation for lapband surgery on Jan. 30th. I'm allowed 3 shakes and 250 calories worth of certain vegetables. It's been a challenging day! I think the hardest part is that I still have to make meals for my husband and son. I wish I could avoid all exposure to food! Lol

Pre-op diet / protein shakes "hacks"
Cat225 replied to turquoisekaty's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks for all the tips! I'm currently on Day 5 of my shake drinking hell. Lol. I've been using sugar free carmel Torani syrup with my vanilla ones. It's okay. It's enough that it takes the chalky taste of it away. Right now I'm experimenting making one of them into a sort of pudding. I can't wait for my surgery on Jan. 30th! -
I'm on Day 4 of the pre-op diet, and I can't wait for it to be over! I get banded on Jan. 30th. Enjoying reading about everyone's experiences!

Thanks everyone for your replies! I met with Dr. Cobourn last month, and immediately felt at ease. My surgery is scheduled for January 31st. I start my shakes in a week! I'm very excited!
