Did your Doc require a pre-op diet?
toni_o replied to whosthatgirl's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
i did 19 days of liquid diet pre-op. mostly it was medifast-type Protein drinks--doctored to taste decent, and one meal of lean protein a day. with my high bmi, i lost 28 pounds. the surgeon said my liver was in great shape for the surgery. the post-op liquid diet is a little more varied--i can have tomato soup!--and will be done soon. -
the icky feelings sound like they might be kind of normal. are you taking pain medicine? call your surgeon soon to be sure that you're getting the right care! toni banded 1/15/08

Protein shakes (doctored to taste a bit better), sf jell-o, tomato Soup, yogurt. lots of Water, plenty of exercise. i take a chewable Fiber supplement to keep things moving. it's really important to stay hydrated...that'll keep your bowels moving.

I wonder if Ishould request a new surgery date?
toni_o replied to planning4thin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
did your surgeon give you a specific amount of weight to lose? if she/he didn't, then you're probably ok. my surgeon made me sign a contract that i would lose a specific amt of weight (20 lbs...high bmi), and told me that if i didn't lose it, my surgery would be postponed. even with some cheating, i made it.
