I am I am!!!! I'm on day 7 of my pre-op diet and doing ok on it. I have my pre-op testing on Monday and then Tuesday is the big day!! I am anxiously awaiting, yet cautiously nervous about it all. I know this is the best thing I can do for myself and my health and in the end, it'll all be worth it.

Great to meet you and good luck!!

I was just banded on 11/09/07.

I have never been in the hospital before so it all has been a real shocker.

Some advice (if you want it):

1) Don't step on the scale post-op for probably a week (gained 7 of my 9 pre op pounds back). It will go away though...

2) Be patient. There are varying amounts of pain/discomfort. Apparently I am a big wuss, so it has not been a great two day for me.

3) Remember that it gets better every day.

Good luck....

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
