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'm in Canada too (Ontario) and my pre-op diet is Protein Shakes (Meditrim), steamed vegetables, black coffee/tea, spices/extracts. Day 1 is going ok so far!

Day three of Pre-op Hell.... Actually, it has gone well, if you can believe it. Today I made a Protein shake, vanillia and added blueberries.. It was very good... and it has been keeping me full. I am allowed two Protein Bars per day along with the three shakes.

This weekend is going to be hell.... family picnics... well... that's part of the reason I am were I am... good luck to all who have a similiar deal... stay strong.. we can do this.. we have too!....

Mine is June 21st. Don't have a diet yet but have to meet with the surgeon a second time still.

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.

June 2nd for me, so nervous and excited all at once! Not looking forward to liquids for 2 weeks, that scares me! I will be so miserable! Really, no caffeine?

I'm getting banded June 7th! My two week liquid diet started yesterday

[browneyedgirl89 10]

my pre op diet starts tomorrow not looking forward to it but on the bright said that means on 14 days until surgery! woo hoo

[WinningLoser 10]

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
