Getting banded May 31st!!

[als33 0]

Hi Everyone,

Was I ever happy to find this website! The information from everyone is overwhelming and so encouraging!

I have struggled with my weight for many years (as long as I can remember), but have been the heaviest the last 4 1/2 years since I had my son. I have done every diet imaginable. So finally as I sat in my doctors office and cried (one of several times) she gave me information on the lap band, and I knew it was something I had to do.

My surgery is scheduled for May 31st in Regina, SK. I begin my pre-op diet on the 17th. I am VERY excited, and of course nervous. But so anxious to get my life back and have energy for my little boy.

Would love to hear from you all!!

Hey,

So today I had my appointments with the Dietician, Psychologist, and Exercize therapist! It went really good, I got to ask lots of questions and feel a lot more ready for surgery. So one week from today i will start my pre-op diet. Anyone have any suggestions for the next week things to help prepare myself??

Hi There,

I am going to start my Protein shake (pre-op) diet tomorrow 5/16/11 using the Optifast shakes.

I also have to do Clear liquids 2 days before my surgery. I will using the Isopure drinks (they have different flavors). I bought a few the other day to try them out. So far I like the Apple Melon (tastes like an apple jolly rancher).

I am so happy to see we are in this together!!!!! I go to the clinic tomorrow to meet the dietician and get my Protein shakes for the liquid diet. We are so close!!!!! We can do this!

How did you guys feel just before starting the liquid diet? I had a night out with friends on Saturday..and today I just feel so hopeful and excited for the future. I thought I would be sad about giving up all the foods I like, but i actually am feeling some sort of relief...anyone else feel this way.

Now we just need to survive the next two weeks!

Good luck everyone Keep me posted!!!!!
