mzme 0 Posted January 21, 2013 Hey there all....here is my story... I am a 45 year old male NYer. In 2006 I have LapBand surgery, I was 425lbs at the time. The surgery was a success and the LapBand is a great tool, I went down to 300lbs. However, in late 2008 I got very sick and was forced to open the band up. Unfortunately, I can no longer use the band. Through all of my illness and "forced" seclusion I gained a tremendous amount of weight over the past 4 years. As I write this, I am 500 lbs., my BMI is off the charts, so to speak. Today I began my pre-op diet and am scheduled for VSG Surgery & LapBand removal on Feb. 4th. Very nervous and excited. I have been thru this pre-op diet before, it is a pain in the butt to go thru, but, I know it is doable. Thanks for allowing me to share.... mzme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mzme 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Thanks folks. I have been about 80% well behaved on the pre-op diet. However, the 20% was high Protein low fat food. Day 4. Not weighing myself, but I already know I am dropping quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
