kathystrick 3 Posted June 9, 2008 Hope all of you "niners" had uneventful surgery today! Update us as soon as you feel up to it. Nine more days for me! I am starting to get exited, but this diet thing is starting to suck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apples2 19 Posted June 9, 2008 Good luck to all who are going through their surgery today and this week. Speedy recovery and a happy band life to all. Hey Kathystrick....what is your pre-op diet. I started mine last week and have 8 days to go. I hate to say this but I am not minding the diet. I have all clear, sugar free liquids with the exception of a protien drink in the morning. I will do anything just to get this done and on the road to a new life. I think the thing that saves me on this diet is the chicken broth. I worry about the sodium in it so will head to town to get some low sodium broth. Hang in there, Kathy. It will be over b/4 you know it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fernando 0 Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) ch4life... I went on a 3 day 2 nite field trip to new york while I was on my pre-op diet and it was not so bad... As per my dr. I had to drink 5 Atkins shakes a day and the days were all scheduled and went by super fast so it actually made it easier!! You will do great... and guess what when the surgeon told me my liver was nice and small and he had tons of room to work with it was all worth it!! Hang tough girl... u can do it!!! If anything just be super good now and do a super shrink for the next 4 days!!! PS I cheated too Kim Edited June 9, 2008 by Huggie Bear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ch4life 0 Posted June 10, 2008 thanks for all the support.. I am alowed one meat and green vegies, but i am thinkin about just doing three Protein Drinks and Water till surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fernando 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Just pay attention to how much Protein and calories you are getting... I know all doctors are different mine was very firm on 5 Atkins shakes a day... that still was not even 1000 calories but it was wnough protien... the protein is important to help in healing... Just a thought... you will do good girl... and if you are like me you will be asking him while still groggy and morphine induced about how the liver looked!! You will be done b4 u know it!!!

kizzie 1 Posted June 10, 2008 Hello!!.. I was given my Op date. I am being 'banded' 18th June in Spain. Can I go on the list please!?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susanm 0 Posted June 10, 2008 Good morning everyone...only 2 more days for me, I will be banded on the 12th...my journey has been long (almost 2 years from the time my family doctor made the referral for me to have my surgery...as the only way you can have lap band surgery in Alberta is thru the Provincial medical insurance it is a long process but very worth it - I could have selected self pay and gone elsewhere but decided to give the system a try and it worked out for me)...I have been living the prep op diet of Optifast and non starchy vegtables for almost 2 weeks...it has been surprisingly easy (I think because I know it is only for 2 weeks and then a new phase will start)...I have not cheated once and am proud of myself for that...I wish everyone who is having surgery today good luck and I am looking forward to hearing how they are doing in tomorrows updates...This site has been fabulous and I have received a lot of information and incite and I thank everyone...I can't wait until after my surgery to add in my update...talk to you in a day or two...:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
