I am scheduled August 1st and am on day 3 of my pre op diet.
-
I'm on day three...I'm doing Optifast, 6 times a day, 3 shakes, 2 bars and 1 soup (980 calories). The first day I was miserable! Since my 6 month supervised diet, I normally don't go over 1200 calories as it is but being on this pre op diet makes me want everything! Hang in there! For me it seems to be getting better and I just keep trying to concentrate on the end result. Good luck!

Working Out While On Pre Op Diet

I don't have to lose a specific amount before surgery, the pre op diet is to shrink my liver. -
Working Out While On Pre Op Diet
justathing2me replied to hopingtobebandedsoon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was wondering about going to the gym too...I'm on Optifast and getting only 980 calories a day. I usually work out for about an hour but I'm afraid that I will be starving with such few net calories after a workout. -
Wonderful news! I hope surgery is a piece of cake for me too!

Did You Keep Your Surgery A Secret?
justathing2me replied to KanesMom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I've told some family, friends and co workers but sometimes I regret my decision. Today I told a co worker that my PCP has already lowered my blood pressure medicine (I haven't had surgery yet) and her response was "That's great, if you would have started a year ago, you would be at your goal already and you wouldn't need surgery." Grrr!!!! In some people's eyes everything is easy! -

Drinking Water And Cheating On The Pre-Op Diet
justathing2me replied to Jellyfish's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm currently on day two of my pre op diet and without a doubt, it's hard! Especially when everyone else in the house is eating normally! But I have worked too hard to get this far! An old saying comes to mind "Cheaters never win!" Good luck! -

Today is day one of my pre op diet! I'm excited, especially after seeing my PCP yesterday for my pre op appointment. After losing 22lbs, she already had to lower my blood pressure medicine! Whoo hoo! -

Psych Eval This Afternoon, Not Sure What To Expect.
justathing2me replied to tiggergramma's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't have to take a test. I did however have to have two sessions with the Psychologist. She just asked me about my life and my weight issues. It was a breeze! -

Wishing October Would Come Already!!
justathing2me replied to GodsTyro's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome! I had to do an insurance required 6 month supervised diet. At times it felt like a lifetime away but now I can hardly believe that it's right around the corner! It did give me a lot of time to do my research and to make sure the band was right for me. It will fly by! Good luck! -
How Much Can I Drink And Eat?
justathing2me replied to Bunnylove4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had my EAS Advantage shake this morning. French vanilla is my favorite. I'm not banded yet but I have been replacing Breakfast with it. It has 100 calories, 2.5 net carbs and 17g of Protein. I buy a pack of 4 from Walmart for $4.74 and I think they taste really good! I just noticed in small print on the carton that EAS stands for energy, athletics, strength.
