The dreaded day is here and strangely im excited!
I have never had a problem with drugs or alcohol, but it seems more to me that this weight loss journey is a day at a time path. Plan to far and you feel overwhelmed, but plan for today and I'm ok.
Two weeks and counting. Today I am excited!

I'm excited for you. I remember getting giddy around this time too. Scared, nervous, excited and giddy! do you have your just in case overnight bag and all of that already set out?

your favorite jammies, a hair brush, a tooth brush, your chapstick. slippers, a beenie - This is what I wore home the day of surgery. Something really confortable that was very expandable at the waist line. I had an extra pillow for the car ride home. Even the smoothest asphalt is bumpy at that point. But I had a plane ride from denver to Idaho and then a drive home. UGH! I just kept popping those pain pills. LOL I can laugh now, but I sure wasn't then. I also had a small stockpile of pudding but it was confiscated by TSA at the airport. That chocolatey contraband.

So what kind of liquids is the MD allowing you these next two weeks. All the physician directives are so wildly different I wouldn't begine to assume what he has you doing.

Your surgery is on the 28th? Mine is the 21st and I'm SO excited. Let's do this!!
Good luck!!
Hey! I had mine at Celebration too!! Just last month! They are awesome there!
Dr Kim is wonderful. They have there own ward section with private rooms! I had no probs at all, not even nausea which I prayed hard about! Get up walking as soon as you can. Others will be doing the same so you can do laps together! lol For after surgery don't forget about the lap band support group. Once a month on Monday nights. I went to my first one this week. It was great!
I had no trouble with my pre-op liquid. I wasn't even hungry. I do question one thing you said though. I made my protein shakes with milk 3 X a day and one with water. Not sure if you understand wrong or if I did. Oh well. Mine is over. I also ate my little salad in the evening when hubby had his dinner. I don't think that hurt anything, but I never told them either.
I had more difficulty with the liquid post-op only cause I wanted food so badly. It was over Christmas too so that made it worse. I wanted all the holiday stuff.
I am also very thankful tho that so far I have not been hungry at all. Once or twice in the morning but not bad.
I wish you the best and hope to meet up with you one of these days. BTW. I live in Davenport, also about 20 min away.
