Lap band surgery on 9/9/08!

Had my pre-op appt. today, everything is all set! I'm so excited, and my doc and his staff are wonderful and supportive.
I'm very cranky though, this is day 4 of my liquid diet that consists of 2 protein shakes a day and one meal at night, meat and veggies. Next week will be hellish, just 3 shakes a day,(did I mention that I can barely choke them down?), and clear fluids, please wish me luck with that!  I=
It was very encouraging to see that I've lost 7 pounds since Tuesday...probably mostly water weight, but atleast all this starving is working!!
I know it's all worth it, and I'm just thrilled to be sharing a date with so many of you on here! Best of luck to everyone!!

Congrats on your date and loss! I can't drink the shakes either, I have tried about 6 brands. Special K has a protein water that isn't so bad. And someone recommended a shake from costco, but we don't have those in my area. I am just trying to make it until my Unjury gets here. Also one of my skinny friends who actually likes drinking this crap puts it in the blender w/ ice and makes shakes.

By the way your babies are beautiful! All worth it for them right?

Congrats on your surgery date

I am so happy for you.  My band date is the day after yours and today is my 7 day on liquids.  I am envious you get to eat vegies and meat.  I have shakes all day with popsicles and broth.  I did lose 12 pounds so far today. which only makes up for the last supper syndrome weight gain so i am now at the weight I was when I weighed in at the doctors.  I hope I lose more to show the doctor.
