I started my pre-op diet last Wednesday. My diet is 2 shakes + 4 oz lean Protein, 1 cup select veggies, 1 cup select fruit, 2 10 cal snacks(SF Jello or SF Popsicles) and Water, water, water. I have lost 7.4 # since l started.

I am scared and excited. I am really enjoying reading everyone's experiences. We can do this!

Have a blessed day!

Well, good luck to you, too!

briefs199, I just looked prior posts and see that you are the one whose husband wasn't being as supportive as you wanted. I am glad that you are going to be able to have the surgery even if it was a little longer to wait.

BodaciousBev, Briefs199? Sorry if I got that wrong—RogerL—not even going to try to remember sbrown, buddhaBlair, I wish all of you the very best of luck. You have every reason to be excited, and scared. I remember my pre op days, and how terrified I was. I’ll be watching for all of your posts, and I wish you a speedy, uneventful recovery. Getting my band was the best thing I could have done!

I remember all that build-up and excitement, nerves, etc. I had never been an overnight patient in a hospital before (and I'm 53!) -- it was all so much easier than I thought it would be. Maybe because we are choosing it so it's not like being injured or I'll. I looked at it as a gift if was giving myself. Best thing I brought to the surgery was my sense of humor. Now I'm grinning all day because I'm just so happy -- weight loss is great but the getting out of food jail part has been huge for me. Good luck to all!

Congrats and Good Luck all!

I'm in the preop holding area waiting to go back to the OR. Lost 14.6 since I started the preop diet on 9-3-14 and my BS down to 103 from 176. See you on the postop side.
