missymobaby 23 Posted August 12, 2012 Im being banded Aug. 23. Im starting my self imposed liquid diet today. My dr. doesnt require a liquid pre op diet but im gonna do one any way just to ensure no complications of a fatty liver. Wish me luck!!!! 1 donna12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rojasanoll 920 Posted August 12, 2012 That is exactly what I did! I lost 31 pounds prior to surgery. I only had to lose 15 pounds according to dietian. And the doctor only wanted me too fast 24 hours before surgery. But I followed a liquid diet mostly to get my body and brain used too this is it for awhile. I've had no problems at all, even with after my band date of Aug 6. I'm recovering just fine and even the Protein shakes taste great. Best wishes and you're doing it the right way. 1 sassycass830 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disney Nut 60 Posted August 12, 2012 I don't have to start my pre-op diet until September 10th, but I'm taste-testing different shake brands now. I had the Unjury chocolate Classic this morning. Not bad...I could drink it when necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missymobaby 23 Posted August 13, 2012 Yes, I only have used Unjury so far. I like it. I can usually drink it no problems but for some reason today I'm having a problem choking my first one down. I know it's all in my head. Gotta get over that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
