My date is November 3rd, so I am in the 36 hours or so state. I took my first shower with Hibiclens, an antiseptic which Brigham and Womens Hospital requires all pre-op patients to shower with for three days up to going in-patient. Executing a health care proxy tomorrow, cooked enough for my family to nosh off of while I am out of commission.

I am excited but not very nervous...don't know if this will change. I do yoga 3xweek, and am hoping that I go into the hospital late enough on Weds. to get my yoga class in first, which I think will help my state of mind. And my yoga/massage friend is doing a Reiki session on me tomorrow, which I think will also be a great thing.

Would it be best to post messages here - for this community -- or to move to the post-op site?

They have them for each city I believe. It is the way they get to offer the sites for free. Crazy I know.

Congrats to everyone who has had their surgery yesterday and for the ones who will be having theirs today. So proud of you all We are Strong and can do anything we put our minds to.

I will be banded on Nov. 9th at 7:30 am. I have been on my pre-op diet for a week and has lost a total of 10 lbs. Which I must say feels very nice, and makes me super happy.

Started My journey at 403 LBs

Current Weight 383.00

Today I meet with the psychologist and Thursday the Dietitian. I'm hoping to hear from the surgeon's office today so I can schedule the actual procedure. Hoping for Thanksgiving week. Good luck to all and please keep posting!

I started my 2 week pre-op diet today. Only Protein Shakes, broth, SF Jello and SF Popsicle...:) This is going to be the hardest thing I have EVER done! I pray for all of us to get through this and have a safe surgery! I can't believe that in two weeks I'll be banded and on my way to a healthier life style!

Hey all! I'm scheduled for Nov. 5th and I'm a little nervous. I know the procedure is safe and I have nothing to worry about but I'm nervous.

I'm on day 2 of liquids and I'm starving!! I miss chewing and can't stop thinking about all the foods that I would love to have one more time. I guess that's what goes along with an addiction.

I'm really excited to start my journey. :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
