Banding on Feb 3rd. pre-op diet on!

[BethNewell 0]

In the pre-op phase of things. Started my liq diet last Thurs. already down 8lbs. Very exciting. I have't lost 8lbs in years!! Not too bad with the diet so far. I did wake up hungry in the middle of the night, but got through that. Not much support from my spouse which is disappointing but He has NEVER had a weight issue... UG very difficult to get across to anyone who has never been in this situation or even close to it.

I saw my surgeon yesterday and things are on the go for Next Thursday Feb 3rd! I can't hardly wait to start this new journey, but I guess I have already started it.

Any encouragement or good advice for a new band would be welcome.

Thanks in advance for your support!

We are on the same path my friend. I just joined this site today. I started my liquid diet on Monday and I am scheduled for surgery on the 7th. I am truly sorry you don't have the support you need at home but I think you've come to the right place for that!

I don't recall. I know you go to the website while you are on here and then it will give the option of copying a link I believe.

Glad to see youre with me on this journey. I am very excited about it. I thought the liq. diet would be terrible and how could I ever be satisified with it, but the Protein shakes help a lot. I have used a Tbsp of sugar free Jello added to the powder for some different flavors. Check with your dietician. you may be able to have cottage cheese low fat and Jello. it is pretty good.
