[Jill Wls M 6]

Hello,

My Surgery Date is November 21st.

I start my 2 week pre-op diet next Thurday.

I live in Morris, IL and my surgery is in New Lenox @ Silver Cross Hospital.

Tuesday I go to a 4 hour diet/excercise class & next Friday is my pre-op Blood Work.

I'm getting banded Nov 22nd as well. Excited, nervous and a ball of emotion. They have me on a slim fast and Water diet for 4 weeks and I'm struggling. 4 slim fast and 64oz of water a day that's it. Ugh rough times but glory days ahead..

They haven't said anything like that to me just an Atkins type diet. I see the doc on the 8th to get all that however I'm starting early. I watched the surgery on YouTube its amazing and the purpose of the high protien diet is to shrink the liver which practically covers the stomach.

I am getting banded 11/15. I actually had rny gastric bypass sometime back but after my twins I just couldn't seem to get back right. So my surgeon said this is my only option..
