im on 2 weeks of just liquid diet. i have to have at least 70g of protein and no more than 30g of carbs. so i do around 3 protien shakes a day then broth, sugar free crystal light, decaf coffee, tea, milk, water, or sugar free popsicles.

hi! i was wondering if everyone is required to do the same steps for pre-op appoibtments such as psych evail & nutritionalist. I've been reading that people have done sleep tests and all sorts of other testing that i haven't had to do. also, when will i get blood work done? i get banded on the 25th and have a pre-op appointment at my doctor and registration on the 20th.

i hope i was told everything i needed to do. i only had to do the psych evaluation and nutritionist visit. i didn't even have a seminar. only 2 week liquid diet then come in for registration. i guess I'll find out on the 20th.

getting banded November 25th! excited and nervous -
hi! I'm just starting my lapband journey and was looking for other people that have gone through it to share their stories im at fort hood so im tricare south i believe. i got a referral from my doctor and have an august 15th consultation appointment set. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly without a long preop diet. im excited to get started with my new life!

thank you! I'm just starting lol i haven't been told about any seminar yet, i just got the call for the consultation appointment for august 15th. i was told my authorization was approved through tricare for the evaluation, not sure what that all includes? I'm just so impatient lol and wondering what to expect after that. my bmi is 44 and my doctor immediately wrote me a referral as soon as i asked thankfully
