I am down for the 16th of June. Side note: my B-day is the 4th, I will start the pre-op diet on the 2nd.... Not sure what I should feel; happy that I am almost there or sad that I will have to drink my birthday cake.........It's always a good day for change.:Banane11:

Twisting the day away,

Hi, My band date is June 28, like all of you I am soooo excited! Can't wait for the journey to begin. I live in Canada and my pre-op diet isn't liquids. I haven't received the information yet, but they tell me it's high Protein, steamed vegetables and NO FAT whatsoever! I can handle that!

Looking forward to seeing how everyone does with their surgery.

Good Luck to All!

I was supposed to do a 26 day optifast... Its been knocked down to 4 days cause of my borderline BMI... 40.8 as of today... My insurance reserves the right to deny payment if my BMI is under 40.

6-17 here but as some others have said, NO pre-op diet!?!

My next appt. is 6-2 and he may tell me then however from what I understand the liquid diet is after the surgery for me.

Any thoughts on why some surgeons do pre-op diets and others do not?

I am sooooo nervous as all of you are too and thrilled I found a support network here and even BETTER a group of JUNE 11 people that we can connect with. Please feel free to friend me!

Thanks in advance for your replies!

My lap band date is June 7th. I am on day 4 of my preop diet. I fortunately am not on just liquids. My surgeon basically told me to lose 10-15 pounds the 2 weeks before surgery and he didn't care how I did it. Being a roller coaster dieter all my life- I know I have to stay around 1000 calories to lose weight. But I am hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope this gets better :(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
