I feel your pain....Sunday I can only do Clear liquids, that should be awesome! At least it isn't a work day so I don't have to be too productive, just get the kiddo, puppies, and I packed up and moved over to my parents for the week. One more work day!!!! Yay!!! One of my patients this morning looked at me and said 'are you okay? You look a little pale and tired.' I'm trying to hide it but obviously failing! Do your best, these last couple days are the most important!!!!

Good luck!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 244

Per my nutritionist....4 meals a day (three meals plus a snack) 200-250 calories per meal, 20 grams of protein per meal, 15-20 grams of carbs per meal. So 800-1000 calories, 80 grams of protein (goal is at least 60), and 60-80 grams of carbohydrates. Hope this helps!!!!!

Right now I have no carbs...post-op I get juice and Beans and cream of wheat!!! Sounds like heaven!!!! I'd kill for a cheese stick right now!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 251, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 246

I'm on liquids til day six post op but my liquids include 24ounces of diluted juice a day, cream of wheat,retried Beans thinned out....I can actually get a few carbs in, I think my complete and total exhaustion is te absolute lack of carbs.

Mine had to be postponed for 6 months due to complications from my lap band...and here I am 4 1/2 days away! It will work out, do not give up!!!!

I know! I get giddy every time I add a name!!!! Ready for a February post-op board and ready to be post op so I can be on it!!!!

Mine was done urgently so no prep...hopefully your diet has been better with the band and your liver isn't as fatty as it used to be but yup,it's going to vary from doc to doc.

I'm up Monday as well.....has this date set for 6 months! Can't believe I'm almost there!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 251, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 246

I'm A family practice physician assistant.....before my lap band 3 years ago, my first batch of blood work, one of my thyroid tests was out and the surgeon said 'nope, no way, won't touch ya til it's in level' I'd never had a thyroid problem before and my other 2 thyroid markers were fine so we just repeated my blood work a couple weeks later and it was normal...an out if whack thyroid is going to interfere with healing and if its way out of whack there can be cardiac issues that make surgery more dangerous. Good luck!!!! Hope it gets leveled out quickly!!

My doc won't operate until your thyroid is stable...

Turtle lips and daluvoflife gotcha both added, welcome!

I'm first, gotta be there at 5:30. Surgery is 7:30 or 8:00 don't remember!!! . Swear to God this diet is going to kill me....I am barely dragging through the day at work. Sitting at cub scouts right now and pretty sure my legs have turned to lead and I won't be able to walk out of here in an hour! Exercise??? HahahahahahahA, not so much! So sick of Protein shakes I'd rather just not eat anything at this point.

Glad you're going home!!!! Take care of yourself and hope you're feeling better soon.

Favorite comment ever!!!!

Oh I did am definitely not myself though, had a massive urge to cry during the post-coital snuggle....dunno if it's starvation, the emotional aspect of being 5 days from surgery,or a combination...he's incredibly sweet but I think I'd have freaked him out if I started bawling!!!! Can't wait to see what this is like with about 50 pounds less of me! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 251, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 246
