Pre-Op Diet {Day 10!}, Party Saturday + Advise from Post-Op?

[phdizzle 43]

Greetings Banders -

Today is day 10 of pre-op liquid diet and I'm proud to say I haven't cheated once. I think it's the fear of something going wrong in surgery because of not following strictly. Anyhow, this weekend my fiancee and I throw our annual holiday party which is a HUGE drinking and eating event. Because I'm hosting, it's the only one I haven't avoided. Wish me lots of luck making good choices this weekend!

So far I've lost 9lbs on the pre-op diet. I'd like to lose 8/9 more so I am 200lb by my surgery date, next Wednesday. If I stick on my diet, I bet it's possible.

Finally - looking for some reports from post-op'ers My friend who had her galbladder removed laproscopically that post operation she felt terrible for daysssssssssss. What's recovery time looking like for you all?

Happy Holidays all!

I had my gall bladder removed laproscopically when I was 30... some 20 years before being banded. I can tell you that recovery was WAY worse than the band. I was out of work for a month. With the band it was 5 days!

I also was on my preop during the holidays and had a pretty glass of Water with lemon with me at all times. I didnt cheat either and had a great time sans the food and alcohol! You can do it!
