Are you having your surgery in Houston? Take care and let me know how you are doing. I'm so glad to have another bandster on my same day! Hey Millie! Woohoo!! I'm so happy...we're both on the same day. We can compare notes on how the weightloss is going. Preop diet...none. My surgeon said I was good. I've been on a 1500 calorie diet for a couple of months...and he said I didn't need to change anything. But I'm a chicken, so I'm going to do my own preop diet next week...just liquids. Don't want my liver to get in the way or freak out when all I'll be having is liquids for the following 3 wks. You know? Yeah, I'm having my surgery in Houston. I visited a few surgeons in the area...until I found one that I felt comfortable with. Where are you? Tell me...what you're up to. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mil51 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Hi Sbanfield, I live in Ventura, CA, about 35 miles south of Santa Barbara. I'm so happy to have someone else going through this on the same day! I still haven't taken my before pixs yet, but when I do, I will post them. My hubs & I lived in TX for awhile when he was in the Army. But came home to CA when he was done. I went to the Nutritionist on 6/30/09 and she gave me a pre-op diet to start on (actually today) but I couldn't wait and I started it on July 3rd. I've lost 8.5 lbs already! I've started walking again at work, it was very hard the first few days, but it's getting easier. I hope to run in a Marathon with my daughter in a year or so! At least that is one of my goals...Thanks for writing back. Take care and let me know how you are doing, good or bad...we all need all the support we can get. ttys, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
