Second Surgery 8/13/2008
Aug 13, 2008
Well I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow to fix my leaking band we will see how it goes and hopefully I will start to lose weight again. At least I didn't have to do a pre-op diet. Today I have chosen to only have liquids as it makes me feel safer about surgery tomorrow to have a empty stomach.
Banded today
Oct 15, 2007
Everything went smoothly and I was home within 5 hours and not to much pain. I lost 15 pounds on the pre-op liquid diet which is a great motivator.
Pre-op liquid diet
Oct 05, 2007
10/05/07 Today is the first day of my 10 day liquid diet. This is not going to be easy as I am already hungry and it is only 1:30 p.m. I guess I will go have another diet jello. 
10/11/07 Today is day 7 of the liquid diet and the hungry pains aren't so bad but it doesn't mean I wouldn't kill for a taco. I sometimes don't even want to bother with having something to drink but I have to remember that I need something in me to keep me going even if it is just a protein drink. Well only 4 days until surgery Yea for me and then more liquids Boo.
