minnesotasue Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I am not a coffee drinker but I havn't read anything here that says you can't have it post band. You are right about the carbonated drinks and beer though, they are a NO NO. Thanks! I can handle giving up soda, beer is going to be hard but the thought of coffee too made me reallyyyyyy sad!

jhawkchick75 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I don't do coffee and I rarely drink pop, but the beer is gonna kill me! I've been laying off and I don't drink that much to begin with, but I love my Miller High Life! My birthday is before the pre-op starts so that will be my last hoorah probably as far as adult beverages. I'm glad i've started working already towards my pre-op so it won't nearly be as bad. I already lost 2.4 in the first week so far so good! I need to lose at least 10 before surgery. Have a great night everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afterwannabe Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 thanks Julie, I already started the pre-op diet with the two shakes and a frozen dinner. It's kind of tough, I get hungry in the afternoon, but I have been drinking lots of water! Like you had mentioned, I am trying to take some of the weight off before my vacation so I won't be so pressured the week prior to the surgery. I received my surgery confirmation yesterday, so I am very excited! I only wish I had done this months ago so I could take some really good pictures in Europe.

october2 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hello! I'm new to this forum. My surgery date is OCT 2nd. I'm starting my pre-op diet today. Dr Miranda advised me to do the option 2 pre-op diet: 225 cal shake in the am, 225 shake for lunch, and a leancuisine for dinner plus salad with low cal spray dressing and sugar free JelloO. So..........I'm excited to hear from any of you. Any of you have any recommendations regarding shakes?? what have you tried and which do you like the best. any communication is welcome, haha. I'm sitting here wondering how this forum works and would like to have ppl to chat with while going on this journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhawkchick75 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Welcome everyone! Glad to see some other October folks! I am doing a pre-pre op diet now b/c i've got a good amount of weight to lose before the procedure on the 24th. I am doing the Atkins shakes and I think they are pretty good and filling. I am not a fan of the vanilla - it is too sweet for me but I really like the chocolate and the strawberry isn't too bad either. I've also been doing the Special K2O protein water and I really like that a LOT!!! It is a big help when it is around 3 and you are at work and starving. It helps get me to dinner. This forum is great and if you have any questions just ask people are really good at answering!!! Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty Cool. I've lost 21 lbs so far on PRE-OP diet. Hoping to lose 9 more lbs. Talk to you soon, Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanp Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hi Misty I think there is 4 of us now October2 is from New York and she is gonna be with us. Are we gonna have to fight over who goes first? Or do they decide for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistyme Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hey Susan. I think that's funny. There might be a couple more that aren't posting on here. Maybe we should go in Alphabetical order. Jason, Misty, October 2nd, and Susan... Just kidding. I don't know how they'll do it. I know the whole surgery only takes about an hour, from rolling in to rolling out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDHmngBird Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi Everyone, My name is Joyce and I'm quite excited to start the new segment of my life. My husband and I are flying down 10/29 to TJ for my banding on 10/30. He's so supportive of me, he's even started cutting back on his food intake so that we can both get thin. He's got just a little to lose, but can't have any surgery because of previous surgeries that have left him with a large piece of mesh that holds him together...let's just say that when a medical person is a quack...things don't always work out the best. I've talk to several people who've been down and had Dr Ortiz do their banding and I figured why not go to someone who knows what he's doing. Anyone else headed down on those days? Any others on here from the Boise, Idaho area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
