DizzyGirl 0 Posted November 16, 2010 No I have a surgeon in Cincinnati, Ohio. I went to GNC today to pick up some protein/whey powder for my post op Protein drinks. It was quite an experience! There's a lot to choose from out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundman999 3 Posted November 16, 2010 Will be banded on the 22nd as well. The reality of it all happening so soon is beginning to make me anxious as _ _ _ _!!! (HELL) Never had surgery or general anesthesia. So nervous! I didn't have a pre op diet, so I have been eating all of the things that I know that I wouldn't be able to eat post band! Looking toward a thinner, healthier future! I would like to wish all of the future bandsters (especially those on 11/22) good luck and a uneventful recovery!

Where in ri are you from? I am also getting banded on november 22nd... Just three more days! I didn't have to do the preop either so i have been eating my way through each day with a sadness and relief at the same time that i will never have to see these foods in these portion sizes again. Where are you getting banded? What hospital? Good luck to you and safe recovery! Stay in touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
