Well, I'm four days post-op and so far so good. Have had a lot of gas issues, but they are working their way through. Dr. Rorscheib in Champagne IL found a hiatel hernia that was rather large that he repaired while he was in there. Thanksgiving wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Mentally, everything looked wonderful, but appetite-wise, I saw the amounts of food going on plates and wanted to get sick.

My pre-op diet consists of 2 -3 high Protein Meal Replacement shakes, 6 oz of V8, a WW meal (or similar), and a small piece of fruit or yogurt/nuts, etc for snack. It's horrible! but on a good note, I have lost 8 pounds already :w00t:

Hi all, I'm getting banded on 11/24, yes, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. It's funny the kinds of reactions I get from people who hear the date. They're like "you're ruining your thanksgiving!" And I say, no I'm not. I'm starting over. I have about 130 pounds to lose to be to my ideal weight. 8 more days :w00t:
