Woot! Snoopy Dancing!

[ElfiePoo 109]

Woohoo! My surgery is set for Nov. 3rd assuming all the bloodwork (which I don't do until Oct 21st) comes back as normal and I don't expect it won't.

I am so geeked! I've been 'attempting' to eat low carb this week, but now I'm really motivated to watch what I eat. Since my doc doesn't prescribe any pre-surgery diet, I think I'll do my Isopure Protein shake for Breakfast, salad with some low fat cheese in it for lunch and low carb green vegies and Protein for dinner. Three weeks of that should make it easier for them to grub around my liver and so I won't feel so bloated going into surgery.

Well, after tonight. I know...I shouldn't say 'after' but my son is going to school to be a chef and tonight is one of their quarterly international dinners. Since this one is French, it stands to reason that it will be high in fat with all the sauces that are typically French, but hopefully I can keep the carbs to a dull roar.

Perhaps it's time for a ticker...and yes I am going to put my highest weight because I am very proud off the fact that I took of 70 lbs and kept it off.

Congrats on your date and weight loss!!!! We are being banded on the same date. I also have my pre-admission testing (blood work) done on the 21st. I hope that everything goes great!!!:scared2:

Lap Band Buddy!

Is your doc making you do a liquid diet or special diet pre-surgery?

Mine isn't, but I'm going to do a low carb, high Protein diet anyway. It can only help!

I went to GNC tonight to stock up on some Alpine Punch and Mango Peach Isopure. Tasty enough that I won't upchuck them, but not so tasty that I'll go, "Hey...think I'll have another." :scared2:

Yeah, I have to do low carb, high Protein diet for two weeks and then liquids the day before surgery (nothing to eat or drink after midnight since my surgery is scheduled for 8:45am). I have been sampling different things, but the Alpine Punch adn Mango Peach Isopure sounds good. I'll have to check it out. I've tried the unjury (I think that's it, will have to check when I get home) and it tasts good as well.
