Hi Everyone!!

I'm Michelle and I am getting banded on Sept. 24th. Woo-hoo!! I live in Vancouver, WA with my husband Sean and 3 year old daughter Agnes. I am getting banded in Denver by Dr. Kirschenbaum. The silly thing is I just moved from Denver to the Pacific NW in Dec. Had I only know about him before.

I look forward to getting to know all of you.

I know! It feels like it is never going to get here. I am so ready to start my new life!!

When do you have to start your pre-op diet? Do you have to do liquids only?

[littlesweet 0]

i start the 14th and i am allowed 1 cup of yogurt and 1 cup of cottage cheese per day as well as suger free popsicles and crystallight etc

So then do you just drink loads of Water the rest of the day? My pre-op diet is suppose to start on Sept. 10th. Absolutely no carbs of any kind. I am going to start this Monday. i kind of want to get into the swing of things so it isn't so hard come Sept.

I am doing two protien drinks made with 8 ounces of FAT FREE milk. Then I get a reasonable dinner. I am doing okay, mostly. I have 4 more days and I feel like throwing up so I am not having problems with the food. I am getting very nervous. Finding a protien powder that didn't suck was pure luck. I bought one from costco, and one from Trader Joe. The Trader Joe tasted like SAW DUST. I couldn't get it down. The costco one tastes good. Is 27 grams of protien good, plus the milk of course. The Nutritionist told me to use Milk.

Oh I did find something I liked, sugar free popsicles. But I tell you, I HATE broth. Can we live off of sugar free popsicles and juice???
