you only have a 2 day diet and dont think you'll be able to make it through? what's gonna happen after your banded? you will be able to eat even less after that... I have a 2 week pre-op diet i need to follow and am concerned about that. well good luck hope things get better for you...

In your Protein Shakes that you make add a teaspoon of Peanut Butter which makes it alot better to handle.

A few days of clear liquid diet with Protein Shakes is easy. I had three weeks.

Yeah I had 2 weeks preop and that was during July 4th lol. Went to two cookouts. Think I "ate" about 10 pounds of ice lol. Just remember, the better you stick to this, the easier and safer the surgery will be. I lost 16 lbs during the two weeks, my surgery took less than 30 min. Dr said it was the cleanest he has seen in awhile and it was due to sticking rigidly to the diet, getting the liver down.

You can do it...Just trust yourself!!

Look at ideas which others have done. Also google Protein Shakes that are sugar free. For everything, it has a common other product to go with it. I had my surgery this past Tuesday and I love the liquids more now compared to pre surgery.

Are you coffee drinkers? It could be caffeine withdrawals. I am still drinking coffee along with my shakes. Maybe that's it?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
