I didn't, but I'll see him when I go in for my bloodwork in two more days. From a 'health' standpoint, my blood sugar is now dropping into the normal range.

I'm with you. This is a great kickstart to a new life.

I have my surgery set for Nov. 18. I'm beginning to worry about the pre operative diet. I can have apple, grape and cranberry juices, Decaf coffee, tea, and sugar free Jello. Also, I can have one Protein Shake a day. I'm thinking I'm going to be crazy hungry. I only have to be on it for 4 days. I've seen some people on it for 2 weeks. What did y'all do to cope? Any suggestions for diversions?:cursing:

Thrilled to see November bandsters. Scheduled surgery date is Nov 4th. Up right now and can't sleep. Surgery is 2 weeks away. Very excited and scared too. Thinking about pre op diet any suggestions to make it simple and easy to stick to? :lol:

Hi. I have been approved and my surgery is scheduled for November 16th. I still have the EGD scheduled for the 5th. Right now I guess I am scared because I feel hungry all the time.

Hi to all the November Bandsters!

I will be getting banded on November 17th, one day after my 40th B-day. I figured it is my way of starting the second half of my life on a positive note. :thumbup:

My 2 week pre-op diet consists of 2 Protein shakes and 2 healthy meals a day... doesn't sound to bad. I have decided to start it on November 1st, just to jump start my weight loss journey. :lol:

I would like to wish everyone good luck to your successful LAP-BAND® Journey!

I am getting banded on 11/13/07.

Got most of my pre-admission test done. Have to go back friday for blood work cause they could not find my vains today. My surgeon has not telling me to do diet prior to surgery but I think its a good idea so I will start tomorrow. I will be on vacation in Italy the week before surgery so that may be hard.

Well take care everyone

I just got my date scheduled....Nov 20 is the big day. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I had to start the lliquid diet monday. They need me to lose 20 lbs before my pre op date which is 10/28/09. I have been having a real hard time with it. I just keep thinking about why I am doing this and it gets me thru it. If we stick together we'll acheive our goals

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
