For everyone on their pe-op diet just hang in there it does get better. I'm on the last wheel of mine ( started on may 3rd) I have my surgery Friday and I just had to keep in mind if I cheat they will reschedule my surgery n I would have to do it all over again....there is no way I wanted to do that so I have not cheated one time but man has it been hard. Good luck n hang in there. If u need to alk message me or something. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I'm May 18th also. I started my liquid diet on May 3rd. So far I've lost almost 19lbs. Excited!!! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Yes I would eat maybe an ounce at a time until u get it down. I haven't had surgery yet ( will b Friday) but the nutritionist said to add a tsp of skim milk n blend well to thin down n be easier to go down by port. Good luck. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I would like to get to 155 lbs still a little more than my ideal weight for my height but that is good for me. I'm gonna try take it small increments. For now my goal is gonna be 270. Im still on my pre diet n so far I've lost 16.6 lbs. I'm super excited. I'm at 292 down from 308.6 Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I am doing well on my liquid diet so far. I have lost about 16 lbs since the 3rd. I'm feeling like I need more to eat but for the most part I'm not hungry n I'm eating all I'm allowed to have. I really hate the Protein drinks, waiting on new ones to arrive. Getting nervous tho. Bloodwork Wednesday, weighing Thursday, n Friday is the big day! Wish me luck....

I too hate the shakes I got from dr. Im still pre op n I have ordered starter pack from unjury ( a lot of people have recommended them). Should get them tomorrow. My surgery is Friday hopefully I find some that I can tolerate before then! Good luck to all. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Congrats! You have definitely got something to b proud of. Keep up the good work! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I haven't had my surgery yet! May 18. Ive not been practicing but I have tried slowing my eating. After years of working where u get 20-30lunch n have to fit n a walk too u just learn to eat fast. It seems to b helping n I have never drank much liquid when I eat. I usually don't get anything until after, I'm still on my liquid diet so I haven't really had any practicing moments since may 3rd. Good luck n I'm sure u will do fine. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

No sorry, hope you get relief soon! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Great advice. I get my surgery on may 18, does anyone know the recommended exercise plan after surgery? Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Have u talked to your surgeon about going on vacation? I ask about going to stay in cabin at Pigeon forge Tn and they told me not for at least 6 weeks. I had to reschedule mine, not sure your options but a cruise is different atmosphere so I would definitely ask them if u haven't about their suggestions! Good luck, be safe, n have fun!

Hi everyone! I am new to the site. Little about myself I am 33, 5ft 4 in, when I started my pre surgery diet on May 3rd I weighed 308.6 and today I weighed myself 299. The pre surgery diet has been a tough walk but I am managing and not cheating. My safety and recovery is vital i have a family with 3 kids 6,7, and 9. I am married with a great support system. I am not sure what to really expect and am a little nervous but I have to trust God will take care of me. My goal weight is 155 hopefully I get there some day. I am really glad I found this site there is a lot of good information and nobody can have too much support!
