May 2nd

Good Luck to you and please let us know how you are doing. When do you start pre-op?

Thanks- so muh better today- I am on a preop diet that has 2 protien shakes a day, a protien bar, a piece of fruit, 4 OZ of lean meat, 2 servings of veggies an two starches per day. I brought some carrots with me today, so when i started gettng hungry I ate some of those- i also have an orange in my lunchbox to eat if I need too. This will ultimately make my dinner smaller, but I think I will be OK. I also get as muh sugar free Jello and popsicles as I want. I think I will stop at the store and pick up some of those just incase I need a little more before I go to bed tonight. But overall feeling much better right now than I was yesterday at this time!

ANewMe that's funny about sleeping, someone at my nutrition class asked if they could take a Tylenol pm and go to bed early every day of the pre-op diet! Lol

I'm good. On my fifth day of 2 week pre-op diet... Uggghhh... Lol Pre-op diet stinks but I knew it would. But, I have lost 7 pounds since Monday so ill take it! I have been eating SF Popsicles like crazy! Looking forward to May 6th!! Good luck!

Creekwood you are right pre-op STINKS but I am doing great on it. I go to bed at 8:30pm because I can not stand to be in the same room with my self so I do not want to put crap on my wonderful husband and child. I am happy they understand. They have not even ask me to cook for them they are doing it! I am blessed to have them both!

taylor what are you getting scared of?

Honestly one of the girls I work with had a real bad time at first (can't help thinking it was partially on her but..) she was back in the hospital shortly after she got the band for 5 or more days for not being able to hold anything down and fevers

She is fine now thankfully

Also reading on here is seems ports tipping is far more common than they made it seem.

...and I'm not sure if its considered cheating on the preop because I wasn't planned but I was making dinner and ate about three spoon fulls of Pasta before thinking "oh crap no no no" and stopping... So I'm a slight bit worried that will mess it up for the preop.. I'm calling my doctor today about it but overall I'm a worrier so my worrying is completely normal
