March 2010 Surgeries

[Mary Gordon 3]

i basically went on a low carb diet, lots of Water and lots of vegetables.

i could snack on fruit as well.

it's takes some effort, but at the end it's all worth it!!!

wish you the best.

My date is March 17, three weeks from today. My doc says I don't need to do a pre-op diet because I'm a relative lightweight, but today I decided it was time to stop with the "last meal" thing I've been doing, so I've started low-carbing it until surgery. I figure every pound I lose in the next three weeks is a pound I don't have to lose after surgery.

I got some of the chocolate Isopure protien powder and it is not bad. I am only using 1 scoop because there are 20 grams of protien in 1 scoup so that should be enough for a meal. Right now I am mixing with heavy cream and Water, but I will use fat free milk after the surgery while I am in the full liquids stage.

Hello Everyone,

I've been stalking the boards for some time now. I'm pre-op and my surgery date is 3/11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just ordered a ton of samples from multiple vendors. I'll try anything once and I just have to find the right combination. My physician is Dr. Alanis in Houston Texas.........

I had the lap band on 4/4/08 and it was removed on 12/17/09. My doctor wanted to wait a few months to make sure that there wasn't any scar tissue and let my stomach retain it's normal pre-surgery size.

I took 2 1/2 weeks off from work, I can tolerate pain pretty well so I hope this surgery is just as easy as the lap band..............

I can't wait to post before and after pics:scared0::biggrin0::scared0::scared0:

Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused::thumbup::001_wub::thumbup::scared0:
