Hello Everyone!!

 

This is my first blog, hoping there are many more to come...

I will be banded on thursday June 4th, 2009 by Dr. Kurian @ NYU in nyc...

 

2 week liquid diet: I tried, really. I have been eating one small meal a day... and feel like a failure. I'm scared they will not band me. I went through sooo much and I can't go back now! Nobody really told me what to eat while on the liquid diet.. I have been eating a bit of bread, and then today I see that the carbs are the ones who make your liver larger! geez! WhAT DO I DO???? WHAT CAN I DO?? does drinking clear liquids all day help?

When I was on my pre-op diet i had a hard time too. So what I did was only eat something like boneless/skinless chicken once a day and I would bake it with cream of chicken soup the fat free one and it was really good and I still lost 20lbs before my surgery too! And I never told my doctor that I did cheat on my pre-op diet. But just make sure u stay on ur clear liquid diet 24 hr. before ur surgery cause they do ask what have u had in the last 24hr. Best of luck to u!

I cheated a tad on my pre-op diet also. My advice would be to do the clear liquids starting now and be strict on yourself. I would hate for them to attempt to do the surgery and cant bcuz of ur liver. Chicken broth really isnt that bad and drink clear juices i.e, apple juice and cranberry juice. Oh, and dont forget the jello. You can do it. I did. Its all a mind thing. Best wishes.
