Hey candtwalker welcome! I can't believe how many people are not on a liquid diet before the surgery. But I see you are on a 2 week liquid afterwards. I will only be on a liquid diet for the day of and the day after surgery. Then I get to move on to cream a wheat' date=' pudding, yogurt and Soup. And a course all of them are fat free and sugar free. But yaaa! Food! I really want meat right now but that is several weeks a way for me. I can make it, I know I can![/quote']

My surgery date is May 14. I start my 2 week liquids tomorrow. I guess it came out wrong as I was typing. I also have 2 week liquids after surgery.

Hi all....this is my first time posting. I got my surgery date on Friday (it is May 14) and I have been excited and scared all weekend. I did not have to diet prior so now it is hitting me in the face......wow' date=' this is real! I have bought all the items needed for my 2 week liquids. I think it is just a mental game for me to get into the groove, but it will definitely be hard![/quote']

What is it??

Lose_it It's just a group for all of us to talk and plan goals maybe differnt things for us to do and help each other with. It is still thru lapbandtalk. Instead of going under forums you would just go under groups. I went thru the May bandsters and got every ones surgery dates and I thought I would start off with listing every one according to surgery date so we would know who's off to surgery. So we could wish them luck and keep a eye out for them after surgery. Just things like that and what ever any one else might have in mind.

Just joined that group. Thanks for compiling everyone's banding date. What a great idea!

I know what you're going through w/ this liquid diet. Frustrated and i still have 8 days left. Day 1 was bad but day 2 i am having constant cravings. After surgery at least it will be easier because we can have different flavors and textures of food in time.

Thank you for putting the group together.

This has been a blessing and has made my surgery less fearful.

My surgery is for Wednesday. I am excited but yet scared of failing.

For those of you have surgery this week, does anyone else have the feeling that you have to clean and organizer their home before surgery?

Where did everyone find their Unjury powder?

I have to be on Clear Liquids for one week, full liquids for another two weeks and then mussy foods for four weeks.

Well I'm starting my 2 week diet today!! I worry about getting my Water in since I don't drink it. But as I'm sitting here I'm drinking it so that is a start. I go to the doc on Thursday, so I dont know really what to expect there but we shall see. I have to start my liquids next Wed. that's two days before my surgery so that is great. I've read a lot of comments that some have to go 2 weeks or longer.

Well y'all have a blessed day off to work I go.

      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.
