TENaciousTENS "roll call" as promised!
RenFize replied to OregonHolly's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
OregonHolly- Thanks for compiling the list. Makes me feel like part of a club. Surgery was yesterday, trying to get liquids/protien down and walk as much as possible. Still on pain meds. I still think of PB as peanut butter. When I have one, I'm sure I'll remember the real name. Renee' -

Hello - Tenacious Tens. I was banded yesterday. Oct 5. -
Hello Tenacious Tens - I am being banded on Oct 5. I start the preop diet tomorrow. I've been viewing this website for a long time before making my decision about getting banded and thought it was about time I joined. This is a wonderful site for support and I know I will need some in the weeks. to come.

My BMI is 37. I believe my doc has all of his patients start a one week liquid diet before surgery. He said it was to shrink the liver. A friend who had Gastric bypass by the same doc had to lose 40 pounds before he would do the surgery. Has anyone else heard of this?

Thank you for the support and encouragement. I am scared and excited all at once. This was a big decision - as you all know! That's what is so great about a site like this. Does anyone have a favorite protein powder for the liquid phase of the diet?
