I am July 5th too! My doctor doesn't require pre op diet. Is that unusual?

July 18th for me. Just found out yesterday! Ahhhhh, i never thought it would come (fighting insurance) but i can officially say it now! Good Luck to all the July babies!

I am a July 18 bandster as well. I can't wait for my surgery today I went to buy the Vitamins, gas X and Calcium. Next week I will shop for Protein shakes etc. Doctor suggested Atkins shakes but I found that Premier Shakes have more Protein than atkins. Does anyone knows if I can use premier instead of Atkins.

My lap band surgery date is July 5. And I am so nervous, I pushed the date back from June 7 to this date. I don't really have the support I did when I was preparing for it. That's why I came on here.

Me, too (postponed from May 23 and now July 5)! Glad you've got the support now. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

I think it just depends on what you like taste wise and that you are getting enough protein. I can't remember the exact number, but I think it is 25 grams that your body can consume at one time. Good Luck!! I plan on using www.unjury.com , they have unflavored so you can put it in anything.

I just got my approval call and I will be banded July 11th. So excited!! It took 13 days for approval from my INS. Good Luck everyone!!

I am getting banded July 11 too. I am so excited. How is your preop diet going? What are you allowed to have? I can have 3 shake and Water only. But it is all good because it is worth it whatever I have to do. Did have a moment of weakness for some egg drop Soup, but I made it through.

Any one getting psychotic on this pre op diet? I am constantly feeling like I am having a panic attack! Cant get interested in anything. Trouble concentrating. I am ready to take the gas pipe.

I am on day 2. The hardest part is the time before my dinner meal which is when ur making it on only two Protein Shakes. I won't lie I'm a little edgy. But you will be fine. Just think about the beautiful after pics u can post next year.

Thanks for the kind words! I work nights so my schedule is all messed up, I will be having a shake before work then at work eat my lean cuisine and snack and Breakfast shake when I get home. I think I've already started mourning, lol...I cleaned out my fridge & shelves and I'm having my last Cherry Coke Zero's, Good Luck to you to, keep me updated!
