Wow, I finally have a Date for Surgery

My date to a new begining is 4-3-06. I have to be on a liquid diet for two weeks. I hope this is not as hard as I think. Any suggestions from anyone. I plan to drink protein shakes and lots of water..........maybe some broth............ maybe some jello unsweetened........... anything else ? let me know. I am trying hard to do just what the doctor orders. Have a great week everyone. Brenda J Ure

CONGRADULATIONS!! I'm sure you'll do fine, won't be long now you'll be on the losing side! Take Care, Hugs to you Perry W.

Congratulations, Brenda! I hear sugar free popsicles will be a permanent staple for our new eating habits. So I'm sure that'll be good for those two weeks as well. Don't forget your vitamins! I'm sure it's not going to be easy (mine is coming up SOON) since our tummies aren't tiny pouches yet but we'll just have to do the best we can. I wish you all the best over the next two weeks, with your surgery, and recovery. ~ Lisa

Thank you for your encouragement. I will do my best. I am getting excited. I just can not believe it.....I hope the Lap Band does will be a great tool in allowing me to go forward to a healthy life style. I have protein shakes, broth, popciles,chewable vitimans and all kinds of drinks. Thanks again. Brenda
