I'm not a pre op patient but I just wanted to congratulate you on your decision to get banded and wish you good luck on your journey.

My doctor did'nt really have a preop diet but I made up my own. For several months pre surgery I did Protein shakes (whey Isolate Protein powerder, made with fat free milk. Look on this site for recipes there are lots) two meals a day and a small chicken based lunch. My journey to surgery was slower than many but I lost over 50 pounds between 12/2009 and 8/2010 the time from my consult to surgery.

Sure doing liquids prior to the official liquid diet (if your doctor has one) may sound like a drag. There were people in my presurgery eating class that did a 500 calorie a day liquid diet for 3 months. I tried it for 1 week and after loosing no weight and exercising daily decided to go back to my own diet.

I lost 5 pounds in one month by just not eating fast foods.

Manda 87 amen to that. Couple years ago my office was moved from one end of the building to the other. And by building I mean 3 enormous factories that were connected to make one collosal building. I sat as far away from the cafe as you could get. After that move I started buying a Breakfast sandwich at Dunkin Donuts every day; which was also pretty expensive. I started buying low fat breakfast sandiches by weight watchers and lost probably 10 pounds from that alone.
