Anyone Having Surgery on Dec 27th??

 My date is 12/27/11. I'm on a protein shake diet right now. Anyone else have that surgery date??

I'm right behind you on Dec. 28!!!

 yay!! ...Did your doctor put you on any special diet for before the surgery?

Well being though I have kinda been through this before with the lapband, he normally does a 7 day liquid diet before surgery...however I have an appt on Fri to go over everything so we'll see....i hope I don't have to start this weeked...I have holiday parties to enjoy...haha!

I'm on a special liquid diet - day 3 of it - all I get is protein shakes, yogurt and soup - what about you?

 I'm on a liquid diet too; Day 4. Protein shakes, chicken broth, crystal ligh****er, and sugar free jello...How's it going for you?

I am on the exact diet! but I also get low fat cream based soups which make for a perfect dinner.

I have a very mild headache, unable to really concentrate - all b/c of the lack of food - but it's a sacrafice I'm willing to make - and totally worth it.

I kid about wanting some real food but when faced with it - I really don't - my friends and family are being really supportive - which helps so much!

So I heard day 3 was the magical day and it gets easier after it - is day 4 any easier for you?

Every day is better than the last. I must say that telling people at work and home that I'm on this diet helps a lot as well. I kid about wanting realy food lol I've even done it on here on my my blog but I'm more focused than that. It's just a small vent being that this is Christmas time and people keep asking me to go to parties, dropping Christmas baskets in my office, etc. It's a little nerve racking. However, I've turned on my extra giving spirit and have given all of those food baskets and party tickets away to friends and family. lol They are loving my diet lol

YES!!! Support is the best thing! Lets keep in touch! Will be thinking of you on the 27th!

 definately!! I'll be thinking of you through my pain killer haze lol
