Lacey8724 38 Posted June 14, 2012 If I don't get banded by the end of June it will be early July! I'm excited, and scared! I envy those that get to do the 2 weeks Adkins diet, I have to do 2 weeks of ONLY protine shakes (3-5 a day). Anyone else have to do that? It seems so Impossible!

I envy those that get to do the 2 weeks Adkins diet, I have to do 2 weeks of ONLY protine shakes (3-5 a day). Anyone else have to do that? It seems so Impossible! that was what I was most scared of I just finished my appt with my nutritionist and I have to have 3 shakes and one low fat low carb high Protein meal a day. I know I have to do it after surgery to allow time for my stomach to heal so keep me posted on how you are doing Good luck and we can do this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

downhomechik 41 Posted June 14, 2012 I'm most happy I do not have to do a pre-op diet however I had to lose 10% before I qualified for surgery and must maintain that weight loss...two weeks prior to surgery I get weighed again. I got approved on April 9 and my surgery date is July 5 so I've had to maintain that loss almost 3 months....hasn't been easy mostly due to rigid diet and hungry alot.

downhomechik 41 Posted June 14, 2012 That sounds harder then what I have to do! 2 weeks of only shakes and crystal lite. I think the best part is that I learned to eat alot healthier and learned alot more about Portion Control but at times I've wanted to give up...but I haven't so hooray for me!

ilikebunnies 48 Posted June 14, 2012 My surgery date is set for July 30th, but just really nervous about it. I just pushed my surgery date back to July 30th! We had the opportunity to do it when my hubby was home so pushing it back is totally worth it Where are you having yours done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
