I didn't have a pre-op diet! Just the day before! But all of my measurements & weigh in were done the morning of surgery :-)

@VFB- your welcome! Come often!

@dying2Bhealthy- HOLY MOLY!!!!!!!!!! That's 2.78 pounds per day!!! OH MY GOODNESS! You go girl!!!!

I think my poor little body was literally "dying to be healthy" lol

So it didn't take long to start dropping the pounds! Good luck to everyone else, & I certainly hope everyone is feeling as good as I am :-)

Geno and Liliana... Best wishes and good thoughts today!

My surgery day is tomorrow. I'm excited and nervous and have NO idea how I'm going to be able to concentrate at work today!

I have to call in this afternoon to find out what time tomorrow my surgery will be. My doctor does three surgeries In one day and I know that one of the other patients is having a RNY bypass, so I'm hoping I will be the first or second surgery of the day.

Reading over this conversation thread has been so helpful. Thank you to all the banana Babes!

Hey guys! So glad to hear everyones surgery went well and good luck to all those about to have it done. I am 1 week post op now and feel pretty great and back to normal. I am starting to get really tired of the Protein Shakes tho! Can't wait another week until my doc lets me go onto the mushies! I keep watching the food network channel and salivating at how good all the food looks lol. i know i'm a sucker for self infliction. i call it my food porn channel now hahaha. I did order some Unjury chicken Soup so i can change it up from time to time with all the Protein shakes. Also, good news i did my 1 week weigh in and i lost 19 pounds since surgery! I'm overly happy and now the protein shakes don't seem as bad lol.

Anyone on their "thickened liquid" stage?

Hey everyone, glad to see your all doing good. I've been losing somewhat slowly but still averaging 5lbs a week. So that makes me very happy.

I found out that I am the first of my doctor's three surgeries tomorrow morning. I need to be at the hospital at 6 am for surgery at 8. I'm as ready as I am going to be. I cannot wait until I wake up in the recovery room on the other side of surgery. Wish me luck! I'll post tomorrow when I can!

Glad you are happy! Our bodies will do what they will do and 20 pounds a month is AMAZING! I am trying to reign in my imagination so my expectations don't get out of whack. This beats ANY diet we have tried in the past right? Take care!
