Wow, I'm hungry. Surgery is on Sept 21st. I'm nervous, happy and excited.

 

Doc gave me the following instructions:

 

PRE OPERATIVE DIET FOR LAP BAND SURGERY

 

YOU MUST FOLLOW THIS DIET. NOT FOLLOWING THE DIET CAN RESULT 9IN CANCELLING YOUR SURGERY. IF IT ISN'T ON THE LIST, YOU SHOULD NOT BE EATING OR DRINKING IT.

 

HIGH PROTEIN MEAL REPLACEMENT DRINKS- UP TO 5 DAILY

EAS

SUGAR FREE JELLO OR POPSICLES

CRYSTAL LIGHT

GATORADE G2 OR POWERADE ZERO

WATER- 8 GLASSES A DAY

LOW SODIUM BROTH

 

That's it, nothing else. I'm determined so I'll do fine. Just keep filling up with fluid so I'm not too hungry.

SusieO,

Hang in there girl, it will be worth it! The hunger cravings actually go away and I was surprised to be satisfied on three shakes a day plus broth in the evenings. Maybe it was because they were so awful that I didn't want to drink more than three a day! LOL

Best of luck to you with your upcoming surgery!

Thanks for the support, it's much appreciated. I have the broth in the morning to replace my coffee with something hot to drink and then a cup in the evening. Glad to hear the hunger cravings go away, that's good news, thanks for that!

Good luck. I find that putting a lot of ice cubes in with the shakes makes them like a McDonald's thick shake and they fill you more. I use some instant decaf coffee or peppermint extract to change chocolate flavor.

The instructions say I can't have ANYTHING not on the list. I'm gonna call them tomorrow and ask if I can add the decaf coffee. I am missing my coffee for sure. Thanks for the help. :)
