I was glad I kicked up my exercise program prior to surgery so I had something to step into after -- now that I'm banded I actually want to exercise. Personally I couldn't have done my pre-op all-liquid diet for longer than the 15 days I was on it -- well maybe I could have gone a little longer. What is yours? Do you have one meal?

My pre-op is one shake in the morning, a smart one for lunch and dinner and 2 small fruits for snack and lots of water.

I would cut back on your calories prior to your pre-op diet. I cut back on my calories a month prior, it has helped my in tolerating my 2 week pre-op diet consisting of 2 protein shakes and 6 oz of lean protein and a cup of veggies. I am not hungry between my meals. I also added the protein shakes to my diet a month prior. On pre-op diet you will feel a little more fatigued than normal. Good luck and time will fly by.
