Brina, You're looking good!!! Made me do a double take:-) Keep up the good work.

Good job! This is true motivation for all of us.

Just wanted to wish everyone the best on their surgery. Let me know how things work out. Best wishes!!!:thumbup:

Yesterday, I finally met the nutritionist. I too have to start my clear liquid diet on today. I think this is going to be a very long weekend. But the benefit will be worth it. I am the first one of the day for the band. I have to be there around 5am. Let’s get it on! :biggrin2:

Thanks Georgia Girl! I am starting to get nerves but I this to will pass. I am from Florida (Gator Country, Gainesville). I am a transit from Jacksonville, Fl. I have been here for about 5 years now.

Allykat, I am right there withn you. My appointment date isn't until Monday March 3rd but my mind is playing tricks on me. One side is telling me to try and diet one mre time. I think I will be fine. Good luck on your procedure.

Congratulations on your surgery. Also, thanks for the play by play report. At times I get nerves over this whole ordeal. Keep sending your updates. For me, it helps take some of the pressure off.

Hello all, I am a Detention Officer here in Florida. I am excited to see other law enforcement officers taking steps to better their lives. I am scheduled to get my band on March 3rd and I am looking forward to it. Nobody at work knows that I am going through this procedure so I don’t know how they will react. I not even told my kids yet. I guess I need to break the news to them soon. Well, I enjoy hearing all the different experiences everyone has had. I hope to add my own soon.[/font]

I am scheduled for my life changing surgery on March 3rd. The question that I have is, what pre-op supplements are other banders taking? Are there any over the counter medication that can help the wounds heal faster? My doctor has not given me a pre-op diet, but I have read on the this and other forums that they are on Protein shakes. What are some good Protein shake that can be brought over the counter or at GNC? I plan on starting a liquid diet this week. Thank you for your advice!!! "The choices we make, and the chances we take, determine our destiny."

Is this the only supplement(EAS) that your taking? I saw this today at Walmart but was leary of the benefits. I may purchase it tomorrow. What do you think about Slim Fast Protein shakes?

Hello, I am having my surgery also on March 3rd. I have been waiting for about three weeks now and I got the news on today. I have a pre-op on the 28th of Feb. I also meet the dietitian on that day. The doctor said that I will be on a liquid diet for that weekend. I am ready! I hope that we can keep in touch. Good luck!
