Creekwood, you are doing great... good you have supportive family. You have been through 7 days... I am looking forward to being able to say that. Gscarlett - that's good that you are out of the headache stage - I like hearing how everyone is progressing on their pre-op diets as it is encouraging.

[ANewMe428 125]

Thank u all. I made it thru my birthday. I drank a lot of Water lol. Protein Shakes. But I'm sorry... my mom bought a birthday cake for my party and I did have a slice :-( I've stuck to my pre op thus far. It was my birthday. I debated and decided I would eat it. & enjoyed it. Now tomorrow I'm back to all my pre ops guidelines.

[cat whisperer 127]

I'm sure a slice of cake won't hurt you. I'm sure I would have done the same, too... take care - you are now back on track how long before your surgery? you are nearly there, right?

Yes surgery is Next Monday May 6th. I had a 3week pre op. I go to the Dr today for all my pre op test. I've lost 19lbs so far. :-)

I have 3 days left until the big day! I was lucky and only had to do a 7 day pre-op diet. What types of meals have you guys been eating? It seems as if everything has sugar or carbs in them.

I have been on medifast/health wise products and SF Popsicles/jello. They are all very low in carbs w/ no sugar. As of yesterday I'm allowed to eat a very lean meat, non-starchy vegetable and salad daily. Good luck!!

Well wow. I had a tough day on preop diet yesterday but pushed through and went to bed super early! I feel fantastic today!! I stuck to the preop diet yesterday and today I made another huge decision...I just got off the phone with Sears and ordered the following:

1) Treadmill

2) Treadmill mat

3) 3 pack of kettle bells 5, 10 & 15 lbs

4) Pack of 2lb toning hand weights

I can't believe I finally pulled the trigger!! I'm so excited not to have to worry about weather. Now...to get my exercise rearranging my living room to make my new workout lifestyle fit.

I have never been this motivated in my whole life.

Surgery May 14th is coming right up!! And delivery of my new exercise equipment will be May 13th.

Here I come new me...here I come!

Surgery date set for May 21st! Start pre-op diet the 11th dun dun dun........

Leanne, that is awesome. I loved my treadmill, had one for years (how I lost weight successfully the first time round) but we had to sell it when we moved, and don't have even a foot extra room in our house now to get another one. I think for SK it is a great idea to have one... we hope to get another at some point when we have more room or a bigger house!! You will love being able to walk/run no matter what is going on outside -even if you just want the privacy of not having to see anyone (I liked that!) LOL

The weights are a great idea too. So happy you are feeling good - hope you had a great day

Its so nice of you to say that!! And you're right about Sask being a good place to have one.

I'm feeling great today...I got a ton of work done inside and outside today...and didn't feel that hungry either thanks goodness. Steamed cauliflower seems to be my new best friend!

I'm hoping you're having a great relaxing weekend as well! I'm looking very forward to my new bike...had a great ride today! I forgot how fun that is. Sask is amazing in the summer...you'll get some great workouts in too!!

Talk to you soon my lbbf (lapband best friend!)...

Hey May 6 banders...Are you ready for tomorrow? I'm so excited! I haven't been nervous at all, but I'm sure tomorrow morning will be a different story. Good luck and keep us posted on how you are doing post-op.

Good luck Drehn! You'll do just fine. I remember getting the IV connected, talking to my surgeon, going to the OR and then waking up in recovery!!! Absolutely no pain for me.
