Any other September 2013 bandsters?

[dohair2013 22]

It's amazing to me how different everyone's pre-op diet is determined by different doctors!! I am to use 4 Protein carb controlled shakes ( they gave me a list of types) and 6 Snacks a day that consist of my choice out of 1/2 c oatmeal, 1 cup Tomato or v-8 juice, 1 cup raw veggies ( a list was given to choose from), a list and amounts of different fruits to choose from, sugar free pudding or Jello, and light yogurts. I am on day 4 and am HUNGRY for some reason today!! I am a little overwhelmed with the thought of how my life will change after having the surgery but am exited all the same.

I'm jealous of some of the diets ... If I could eat veggies & fruit it would blissful!!! But alas, I'm on 4-5 Protein Drinks, SF Jello, SF Popsicles & broth.< /p>

My lap band is scheduled for September 25th. I'm both extremely excited and nervous all at the same time. I begin my pre-surgery diet on September 11th. I'm REALLY worried about it. For my diet I can have 2 Protein Shakes per day. One can/cup of soup(not cream based) or turkey chili. 1-2 Snacks of fat free yogurt, cottage cheese, pudding or Jello. And of course liquids like gatorade, tea, Water, etc. Any feedback from people who have or are going through the pre-surgery diet would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to all!!!!!

Awesome' date=' tbatch!!! That's great. I hope my recovery is as easy. What is is like to eat (actually, drink) things now?[/quote']

I don't have Fluid in my band so there is little to no restriction, however I can feel it in my chest when I need to slow down and let it filter in down before I drink more. its like a feeling of needing to burp but can't. once the gas and bloating goes away I think I will be back to 100% me:)

Nice! I work in Tempe by Az Mill Mall. I called and left a message today with the medical director for the Ins that denied me! We shall see if e calls me back or not... I'm guessing it will be NOT!

I started my pre-op diet today (3 shakes/2 fruit/1 salad+protein), and started school. I had a hard time getting in my lunch time shake because there was just too much to do around the school. I ended up chugging it. I didn't get a chance to eat my evening snack (apple, pear, or orange) and my last shake yet. I am exhausted, but I think that's normal for me on the first day of school.

A few people commented on my weight loss already (about 30 lbs since June). I don't like people saying things, but I guess I'll have to get used to it, right? (I hope! LOL)

I didn't buy hardly any back to school outfits this year. I want to lose about 10-15 more lbs and "go shopping" in the back of my closet. LOL I have a bunch of 2x clothes hiding back there.

PS To Irish, I still have to do a double take since you look just like my friend. LOL!!!!
