Many years ago I celebrated my wedding anniversary on that date. Been divorced about 20 years now so now I will have a new life (mine!!!) to Celebrate on our day. I only (only....geez) have do do 10 days of liquid diet. Its 2 Protein Shakes plus very little else except SF popsicles or Jello. But, as much as I hate it, the lbs are dropping off so thats a good thing! Welcome and keep posting. It really encourages me to read of others going thru this, especially those who are going to be banded the same day as I am. We can do this!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you tried following the liquid Protein diet? Seems many folks have to follow that for a few weeks pre op and drop lots of weight on it. My dr. didn't require the Liquid Protein but a higher percentage of protien and small meals every 3 hours. I've already dropped 4 in less than 2 days. I just have to do Clear liquids 2 days preop.

lady zique 0 Posted May 31, 2008 Ok I'm getting ready as well I start the pre -op diet tomorrow and I'm like ok can I do this? But I will try with all my might. For some reason reality kicked in about Tuesday and I was eating everything in sight. Like I was never going to see food again. My surgery is June 5th this coming thursday. A part of me is excited and part nervous and a part wants to back out. I will ahve to stay overnight was wishing they would send me home same day but doctor says he makes everyone stay overnight. But I keep thinking of myself losing weight and thinking of how happy I will be. But then I keep thinking what if this doesn't work too well for me and I don't lose as much. I know about 2 people I work with and they have not really lost anything and it's been a while. But I will stay positive and just try and experience my own journey here. Ok I will count on all of you to be my support system here since I'm not telling anyone in my family just husband. I did tell a few co-workers. Anyway anoyone from Houston and using Dr Alanis?

Diz 1 Posted May 31, 2008 i am being banded on june 16th. i am excited, nervous, terrified, relieved, and in mourning over the things i wont be eating anymore, but its been 10 long months of fighting with insurance and going for every conceivable test known to mankind, but it will be soooo worth it!!!!! Please don't mourn the things you won't be eating. I've been reading countless threads, blogs, books, etc. since I started this journey last August and depending on the person, you can eat what you want within 6 months to a year. Does this mean you'll go back to a bonbon, potato chip, soda fest once this is over? I won't. I'm making healthy choices. But I'm human. I know that every once in a while, I'm going to want a taste of ice cream (my personal demon) and if I make a wise choice, like the Dryers slow churn with 50% less fat and 30% lower calories, and I don't over do it, I should be ok. But you and I both recognize that the benefits are so much more. I'm right there with you and can't wait to hear more details of your journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
