I am getting banded on January 20th. I have been on a Pre-op diet since January 10th. I have only had Yoplait Light (1-2 a day), Sugar Free Drinks, Slim Fast Optima (1-2 a day), Sugar Free Popsicles, Cottage Cheese and I can't stand the taste of broth. I felt like I was going to pass out a few days, but when I did I had a yogurt. Tomorrow I go for my Barium Swallow. I don't know how much I've lost but I think I may take in 700 Calories a day max. It wouldn't be so bad if everyone around me at work wasn't eating Hooters and Panera all the time, lol!
