Surgery Date

Sep 28, 2010

I finally got the word that my appeal for the gastric sleeve was denied.  I was submitted for approval for the Lap band and was approved.  My surgery is set for Monday, Oct. 25.  That means I start the liquid diet on Monday, Oct. 11.  I knew it was coming, but I'm not looking forward to it.  The only protein shakes I've been able to tolerate are the Atkins shakes, but they only have 15 grams of protein each.  I need to find something with more protein.  I may just have to use the powders.  It seems like no matter what I do they never get mixed enough and most of them taste pretty bad.  I guess I can deal with it for 4 weeks.  It will be worth it in the end.  I'm looking forward to being thinner this Christmas.  Hopefully I'll be able to stick with the diet through the holidays.  Wish me luck!
