How are you preparing for WLS?

Hello WLS friends, Just wanted to hear how everyone is preparing for the big day. I am walking 30 minutes a day on the treadmill and 3 days of strength training. I have started to limit food intake-1200 calories a day (no more eating out) and increase water intake. I am also preparing postop smoothies-the taste is great. DH is enjoying the smoothies also. I'm having a smoothie before my morning workout. Smoothie recipe: 2 scoops of ISOPURE orange, pineapple, banana shake mix (GNC store) 1 banana 1/2 cup frozen peaches 12 oz of hood countdown pineapple orange drink (sold at Walmart) Crystal light, kool-aid made with splenda can be used to make the smoothie. This smoothie taste like drinking liquid orange sherbert. yummy! One postop patient (135 pounds lost in 1 year) at the gym recommended that anyone that is preop, not to have the last meal of high calorie, high fat, and sweets. Just gradual decrease food intake. I have also purchased sippie cups and baby spoons to use after the surgery. I will be taking the sippie cups to the hospital. Tammie G. 11 days until preop and 22 days until surgery everything before the big day

Hey Tammy, I just wanted to commend you on cutting back. I haven't thought about this but I plan to start changing tomorrow. I will begin with counting my calories and keeping journal. Congrats to you and I wish you well with your surgery. Narketta 20 pre-op 30 days until surgery I am mentally preparing myself which is a task in itself

Hillarious.....I am so proud of you for doing this because I am doing the exact opposite!!! I am going hog wild and eating till I'm blue in the face!!!! I know I shouldn't be proud of that but I guess my mentality was that I didn't want to look back and say "I wish I had eaten that before". Granted, since I am having the lap band I won't have AS many restrictions as the bypass does, it's still an unbelievable change from any way that I have ever lived or eaten before. I have been limiting my soda intake though slowly and upped on the water.
