One more day! yay!!!

My doctor does not have a post-op 3 week liquid diet. It's like 2 or 3 days then try soups and soft foods. I think I might die on a 3 week liquid diet. Ya I double checked its 3 days liquid water, tea and coffee protein shakes clear broth (no other ingredients and not creamy) milk (skim is recommended) flavored gelatin (no fruit or other ingredients added) Then onto the soups that are creamy or lighter thicker, foods such as yogurt, pudding, apple sauce, oatmeal, or any other food that I'm willing to puree. Just nothing that you have to chew. I think that is for about a week.

I also have my surgery one January 26th too! I'm so excited. I'm not going to lie thou I have the same pre-op diet 2 shakes and a low fat dinner and I have not really been doing it. I think I'll be fine thou because my nurse said I'm so young and my BMI is a 35 my liver should be fine. I just have a feeling I'm going to get one of the disappointed looks when I go in. I didn't really have to do a bunch of pre-op stuff. I went in a week or so ago and they took my blood and sent me on my way. They just told me to be there Tuesday at 11am and surgery is at 1:00. I get to go home like 2 hours after surgery they said. It all has kind of seemed really fast. I went to a seminar on the lap band and they gave me my surgery date that same day which was 3 weeks away.

I have surgery on Tuesday and had to pay out of pocket for it.... $16,500 and now you have just scard the crap out of me.
