Liquid Diet Before Lap Band Surgery?
bd000580 replied to Tulip16's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
3 pints skimmed milk 2 no/lowfat yoghurts per day for 9 days. I changed it slightly 2 pints n 4 yoghurts. Done to reduce fatty liver so that surgery went easier for surgeon & therefore me! -
GAINING weight on protein shakes only pre-op??
bd000580 replied to Mischief's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You don't need shakes etc 3 pints skimmed milk 2 no fat yoghurts per day was my pre op diet given by consultant surgeon in bariatric surgery. Only do it for 9 days though no more -
I'm in the uk but I'm lucky I have Bravissimo they do larger sizes up to k cup and they also have how to check your size (I know there are slight variations between uk n usa)

3 pints of Skimmed milk n 2 low fat yoghurts per day only for 9 days was my diet -
My pre op diet was 3 pints skimmed milk and 2 no fat yoghurts per day, I asked and managed to change it to 2 pints and4 yoghurts. Only for 9 days none or very little hunger v surprised! Post op frozen slimfast, 3 days add mini yoghurts 5 days add soup. Everyone is different so listen to your body.

I had to have slimfast. I froze it and would have 2 teaspoons and be full, by day 3 I could eat a whole one! I then just drank slimfast or canned soup, ice pops n water. By day 7 I ate 2 cubes of chocolate bliss, but didn't want any more! If you feel you can eat lumps earlier just make sure you chew chew chew!

Moods, Meds, and the Lap Band
bd000580 replied to Hopeful to be full's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was diagnosed with work related stress and was on anti depressants, at the start I crushed my tablets and had them with frozen slimfast for the first week post op, my doc only told me after that I could have had them liquid! After the first week I chopped them in half so no real problems! Your emotions will be up and down just try to do some meditation (lay on the bed n listen to calm music or birdsong/water etc) even if it's only for 10 mins at a time. Good luck Ann
