I'm August 11th too and I totally hear you. I've had 3 surgeries in the past year and I can tell you that the IV's are a piece of cake, I won't lie, just a little pain when they first put the line in, but it's totally okay after that. 

Good luck to you!

Topic: August 24, 2009 -- Lab Band - any hints for pre-op diet?

I'm scheduled for my Lap Band 8/24/09. I'm excited and nervous. I need to get going on the high protein / low carb diet and finding this hard to do. I know if I don't and the Dr. gets in there and sees a big ole fatty liver, then its close up without the band. Anyone else doing the pre-op diet? How are you faring? Any helpful hints? Thanks!!

Topic: RE: Help! Need to lose 7lbs b4 2 weeks pre-op

oh i was on my liquid diet for not even a week and i lost close to 10lbs.
just be strict, and im sure you'll lose some weight 


and "this is the last time i will eat this" is not true.
You will be able to eat it after your all healed up in smaller quanities of course




You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and attention

What an amazing prayer and just what i needed to hear tonight.  It echos many of my own personal prayers but i do believe when His followers come together in one accord...mighty things happen and that is what i'm believing for!
