Beachbunny 5 Posted August 16, 2010 Hello , Just wanted everyone to see a positive post !!! For all you starting or needing to do a pre-op diet , i for one , highly reccomend it!!! I did not have to per my DR. but chose to. I did the Isopure dutch chocolate shakes for Breakfast and lunch , snacked twice a day on low cal mozz sticks(1 per snack). dinner was a piece of chicken and salad or veggie. I was not Hungry at all surprisingly. I did do the two scoops of isopure and 12 0z of Water . Everyone in my Dental office jumped on the band wagon with me and my friend lost 3 lbs her first few days. People were just as amazed as i was. It took me 4 months at Jenny craig to lose easily what i did in just over two weeks!!!!!!!!!! Go for it! it is well worth it and prepares you for the smaller portions. 17.3 lbs for me in 2 weeks 3 days!!!:cursing: ~Jennifer~ P.s my surgery is Tommarow!

dar36 5 Posted August 16, 2010 Hey there! I did a similar weight loss program to lose the 5% insurance required weight before they would approve. I ate a TON of vegetables ( I made Soup with them), I would have an occassional Protein shake and a little lean Protein. And of course, lots of Water. I lost 12 pounds in two weeks. I also exercised quite a bit...a lot of walking and swimming. I didn't feel hungry either. I am getting banded tomorrow too! I am scheduled for 10:00 AM and I believe the doctor is keeping me overnight because of my sleep apnea. I will be anxious to come home and talk to you to see how you did. I have a feeling I will be up all night. So if you feel like chatting, I will probably be online. My thoughts are with you. I am happy for us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sherun 1 Posted August 16, 2010 Good Luck to all you being banded tomorrow! I am on a 12 day pre-op diet... Mine is all Clear Liquids, it has been really tough. I am a huge afterschool snacker, but as long as I am busy, I don't have much of a problem.. I wish my doctor would of given me a certain amount of weight he wanted me to lose... cheese sticks and light veggies, would be great right now... I am getting really tired of Protein Shakes, I only really like the chocolate, and its getting boring.. chicken Soup broth is really good! Havent started much of an exercise program Day 5 is almost over and I get banded in 7 more days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rkwilliams1013 0 Posted August 16, 2010 I just started by pre-op diet today... Doing full liquids for the first week, then all clear liquids the next week... Its going to be really tough, but I keep telling myself "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mskitten2123 0 Posted August 17, 2010 i started my pre-op diet on the 10th and my surgery is on the 25th. I have lost 5 lbs. it is quite as hard as I thought it was going to be. The hard part for me is still having to cooking for the kids. But so far so good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
