October 2009 Surgery Date?

[we3601 0]

Thanks for the great post, Timmers. That's exactly what I needed to read. I'm just over one week into this pre-op liquid diet and can't stand it. I have a stomach ache all the time. At least the headaches stopped!

Sometimes I think that this is just sooo extreme. Why can't I just eat healthy foods in healthy portions and exercise? Well, I've come too far to turn back and in all reality I don't want to turn back. I'm banking that the weight loss is going to far outweigh these last minute doubts.

Tina, my pre-op diet is very similar to Nooshie's. Length of time is two weeks prior to surgery. They've recommended these awful tasting Protein bars also to eat 3 times a day. I've never managed more than 2

Good luck to all October Bandsters -- 10/19 is B day for me!

we3601- Iam on a 2week pre-op diet and this is what it consist of : B-protein shake: L- any one Healthy Choice, Lean Cuisine, or Smart Ones entree: S- 1 Piece or 1 Cup of fresh fruit: D- The same as lunch. Free foods are ff broth, sugar free Jello, sf popsicles, crystal light.

Hope this helps. I think a lot of Doctors this has just been the norm for a liquid diet. :confused:

I have a surgery date of Oct. 19th 2009. Started my liquid diet yesterday.

I don't have my surgery date but I have my consult with the doctor Thursday and I think he will give me my pre op diet at that time. How long did you guys have to diet before the surgery date?:thumbup:

My date is also Oct. 21st. I've been feeling distracted for the past few days, but I am definitely looking forward to it. I start my liquid pre-surgery diet on Sun. I'd like to post my weight tracker but I can't seem to get it to work. Do you know how?

okiegirl, you"ll do fine don't second guess, ask yourself do you want to be in shape this time next year or in the same size? If you are like me I never lose enough to matter or keep it off long enough, but I feel HOPE around the corner and have read to many postings to know its the right choice. So kick up your boots and take the ride!!! I do wish you the best and please update me, I'm also nerveous but know its the right choice.

I'm not second guessing. I doubt you really are either. I bet you are like me...nervous as a whore in chruch!!!!:thumbup:

You wouldn't have come this far if you had any doubt that this was the right thing to do. Just like me. But man, am I nervous. I hate surgery. and i am nervous about life after. will i puke all the time, will i get stuff stuck? who knows. But we both know that it will be better than what we are dealing with now. Good luck sweetie!!! I am getting mine the day after you, keep us posted.:biggrin:
