April 23! Wish me luck

[4luci 0]

:Dancing_biggrin:The last time I posted, I was upset about how much time it was taking just to find out that I may not be able to get the lap band. After submitting the insurance approval, two weeks later the clinic called me and told me that I was approved! Now I am scheduled for the 23rd of April. I am in the 2 week pre-op and have an extreme allergic reaction to sugar substitutes. This makes it difficult to use the Protein Drinks, crystal light, or any other low calorie drinks. So here is a concern that I am thinking of asking my dietitian at the clinic on Monday (keep in mind I am in day four of the pre-op). Right now I am having only a medium size banana (at lunch) and then my 300 calorie Lean Cuisine frozen meal for dinner. The only drinks I have are Water, and I am trying to mix some Tomato juice with water where I can. This may not seem like such a big deal now, but after the surgery when it is liquid only.... I think I may run into some issues. I think that the chew-able Vitamins also have sugar substitutes in them and I will only be able to take the pill form. I will have to crush them and put them into apple sauce.

Has anyone else ever had this much trouble? Just wondering before I go to the big day.
