That was one of the hardest parts before surgery, clear liquids for 2 weeks made me cranky lol, I managed to do it losing 15 lbs in the process! I kept telling myself i can have creamy soups after surgery and that kept me going, Holidays are the worst, I just had my surgery 3 days ago and the parties and gifts in those 2 weeks of liquid diet was really tough, it'll will all be worth it not only once u get the band but once u step on that scale before surgery and you see how much you have lost. =)

I guess I was luckly no preop liquid diet was ordered for me. I just had my surgery 3 days ago & so far I have lost 6 pounds on the post op liquid diet....I am trying my best to not weight myself; but I am so happy about this new point in my life.

i was banded yesterday ! I really feel great. I only has two days of liquids pre op, and will take clear liquids the second. I am excited and very hopeful about my new friend "Bandito". Congratulations to my fellow banders!

That's why I scheduled my surgery for January. Didn't want to have to explain why I was on liquids at any holiday functions. Good luck with the pre op diet, I start on January 1st. My doctor does let you have one meal as long as it is a protein like fish or chicken and a veggie. All these pre op diets are different depending on the doctor I guess.

Well, what do ya, know...Mines the 27th, too! Good Luck:)
