Jan 29 - RNY!

Hi everyone, I got my date a few days ago - January 29! Most of you will be in and out before me!

Wooohooo congrats Laura on getting your date!!! Welcome to the January board! Anna

I'm January 29th also.

Congrats to you! Are you nervous yet? Do you have to do a liquid diet beforehand?

No liquid diet for me. I just have to be on clear liquids for two days before. Isn't funny how each dr. is different. Wish you much luck and lets keep each other posted post-op.

I'm also having Lap Band on The 29th How cool!!! I would like to hear how you are doing after.

Sure thing Do you have to do a liquid diet before? I am dreading that part...

To be honest I havee been on a liquid diet since September 06. I have found the Jay Robb egg white protein very helpful. It has no lactose in it. It is much easier on the stomach. I have had to drop 60 lbs before Dr. Bhoyrul would submit my approval paperwork. The more we lose before surgery the easier the procedure is and the quicker the recovery. I was told by a family RN that the liquid diet before surgery helps change the internal sizing and placement of the liver and other organs that otherwise could be in the way of the surgery. Good Luck God Bless.
