Yay My surgery Date is 9th Nov - New me here I come!

I'm so excited that I have finally been given the go ahead for my Lap Band surgery! My rebirthday is the 9th of Nov!!! I will be starting the pre op diet tomorrow and am a bit nervous about starting the replacement diet but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it in mo time!

Does any one have any advice for surviving the pre op diet? Or any advice as to Lap banding in general I would be totally up for some helpful hints and suggestions!

Bring on the new me!

Nicola

Good for you! How exciting! 

I have no advice for how to surviving the pre op diet, I am in the middle of it myself... But it will be ok, I think I will survive.

I ate a little extra protein this evening and a little bit too much cucumber, because it was so good - and I feel uncomfortably stuffed. Same as yesterday. It is amazing how little you can eat! And I haven't even had the surgery yet!

What does your diet plan look like?

Thanks for the response Aurora Star,
I have officially started my pre op diet today, mmmm not good so far! I am having 2 meals replaced with a protein drink/shake, and then a light meal at night. I chose a strawberry flavor shake and it is soooo foul that I can't drink it. I can choose a protein bar or other shake flavors so I'm going to get those ASAP!!!
Glad your pre op diet is going well, is yours similar to mine? When is your surgery date? 
Cheers Nicola
