How long do they have you doing liquids before surgery? Everyone's surgeons seem so different.

Hi,

I had to do 2 week liquid diet pre op. I got banded 4/20 and have to do another week on it so I think it's as much to just get you ready for life right after band as well as losing weight, shrinking liver.

I just figured out also as really interested in this group that the apps on my iPhone and iPad will not access any groups it wants a password. If I access site directly not through app I can get in. Kind of frustrating . I'll let admin know as started thread on site support.

Hey Charda I guess i should be scared but i am not really. I am more scared something will come up to stop my band or more scared I will be stuck living in this body the rest of my life. WHen i climb staris i have started promising my Knees to just withstand the pain a few more weeks and that they will get relief. I dont want to die of heart diease or DM. I am more scared of whats going to happen to me if i dont Get the band then if i get it.

I'm not sure what this password thing is. I didn't put a password on this group. All are welcome but I've heard some people have a hard time joining the room and I can't get into here from my phone either. Not sure what's up with that.

Maybe write the admin for the forum?

I did send an email. The reply was that group forums are not accessible yet on mobile devices. The hope to have it fixed in a few weeks.

My only pre-op diet requirement is 1400 cals a day. When I thought I was having surgery in April and was on my pre-op diet, I did "practice" for the future with liquids. I wanted to figure out in advance of surgery which ones I could tolerate.

      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.
