Paula- if you make the Jello yourself you can add Protein Powder to it. It tastes good.

To all my march bandsters that are are struggling through the pre op diet i feel you. It is not easy but we must stay strong, it does work and well worth the sacrafice! Im being banded tomorrow morning. In my 7 day liquid diet so far ive lost 10 pounds. Ive struggled for to loose that much for months and have done it now in just 7 days :)

Got in 1/2 of Protein Shake and 1/2 bottle of Water in so far. I start mushies, very happy about that. Back to work on sunday I work 12 hrs shifts standing I'm scared can hardly stand 2 hrs much less 12 hrs. Tryin to get into an exercise routine mostly walking to get prepared. Scars are healing well no leakage or redness.

To those banded:

How often are you getting on the scale? I figure I will weigh in once a week just to see if I have progressed. The scale has not been my friend in the past so kinda skeptical about it now.

I can't help but weigh myself every other day, my husband keeps telling me he's going to hide the scale! I think once a week is perfect, but my self control isn't very good!

Wow, my surgeon didn't want me going back for two full weeks, I go back on Thursday of next week as my post op isn't til Wednesday. My surgeon glued my incisions but they still itch but it is getting better. I am so ready for mushie foods but was told to do liquids for a complete two weeks. I am having a hard time getting down the Protein Shakes and not sure what I can do about it. I agree with you on the standing and hope and pray that you can get through your shift on Sunday.

I was banded this morning and I am so excited. Im not feeling much pain or gas so that is good! Everything went really fast! When I got home and looked into the box my band came in I noticed they included a picture of my stomach with the band. Very cool to have :)

      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?

      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.
