Ok I have a question for anyone. I am pre-op and have been trying to drink more water/sf kool-aid how do you get 64 ozs in a day I have truble getting 32 ozs in me a day I have a 26 oz water bottle and start out with it full and just can't seam ton drink that much and to think that after surgery ill not be drinking for 1and 1/2 hours 3 times a day how do you do it lol.

I am having my surgery on wed and tomorrow is my last day of my high protien liquid diet then tues is all clear liquids I think ill just sleep all that day to keep from beeing hungry lol. I am so nervous about the fact that my entire life is about to change. I know I need this but I'm scared too.

my water at my house is not good right now. its not city water so i add sugar free kool-aid and since starting my pre-op diet i have had no problems drinking enough but still worrided about after. surgery is next wed.

End of day 3 pre-op and feeling ok not really hungry as in starving ever no headachs but want to chew and will admit have had a few finger tips of ranch dressing and I just ate a small peice of cheese.

Has anyone used carnation breakfast mixes for there morning shakes???? And have you found any other protein shakes that tast similar to them I like them not malty tasting

The other night I took a long hot bath and then a shower and I cryed in the shower because I just can't belive that in less than a month ill me banded and my entire life will change. I'm happy about the changes but scared at the same time.

Well my last 4 days before my pre-op diet startes ill be in the wisconsin dells on vacation so needless to say I'm not going to be following any rules and there is an awesome new years buffet at the one hotel we will be at. So that will be my big last meal lol then start the pre-op diet on the 3rd.

I checked in my spam folder and not there I was getting e-mail notification on all threads I looked at and now nothing. How do I change that setting

I am praying to get banded in jan and am now on birth control pills not that I was having a period before PCOS but my man and my sergion want me to wait 1 year post surgery to start trying and I so want a baby too I'm only 31 years old but itts been my dream since I was little to have my own baby and just have not gotten prego on my own so going to keep on the birth control for at least the first 7-8 months after surgery to loose the weight and get me healthy then my man and I cAN start trying to get pregnant. Good luck to all.smiles

My paperwork just got submited last week so crossing fingers for a fast aproval and surgery on jan 13th want to start pre-op diet jan 3rd right after our christmas trip with the children to the wisconsin dells.

I also have PCOS and am having the band hopfully in jan 2011 I was also told that just the fact of loosing weight can help you get preagnant. My question is for those that have been banded how has the weight loss been going with PCOS? I know it can be more dificult to loose weight with it but was woundering if any others have had dificulty? I am hoping to be able to get preagnant after I loose the weight also heres crossing fingers for all of us. I also am type 2 diabetec and take metformin for my PCOS and my OB told me that after my surgery I don't have to keep taking my metformin since its ER and big pills so a posible issue swallowing them she said after if still haveing problems with irregular periods and facial hair there is a diff med for that we can talk about putting me on.
