"Last Supper Syndrome"

[SanDiegoPhotog 0]

katkeen,

I am getting banded on June 4 and I just started my liquid preop diet. My surgeon requires 4 full days, but recommended 10. I'm doing 6 as sort of my "compromise." LOL. He said he's fine with it as long as I do at least 4.

It's tough, but the benefits of an easier surgery for the surgeon and less complications/pain for me (supposedly) are totally getting me through this. I want my liver SMALL and out of my surgeon's way. It's just my opinion, but you should totally do the liquid preop.

Me too. Ever since I made the decision to get a band I have been eating and eating especially sweets. I know they are high calorie and after the band I can't have them. My husband said he'd take me to dinner anywhere I want to go right before I get the band. I can't make up my mind where I want to go but Chinese food sounds good. Probably can't have all that fried and breaded stuff after the band. Not too good for you. I know I have to cut back on many things and nearly give up sweets. I'm going to the nutritionist consult on June 4th. I think I'll make that the day that I decide to start eating heathier. No time like the present. :biggrin2:
