My surgery date is September 26 and I'm so excited! This has been a long time coming. I just hope and pray that everything goes as planned. One thing I am concerned about is shrinking my liver on this preop diet. My doctor recommends a low calorie diet, 1200 to be exact instead of a liquid diet. Has anyone else had success in shrinking her liver without an all liquid preop diet? I would be devastated if I couldn't have the surgery due to a fatty liver :'(

Im getting banded in September as well' date=' but im worried about being able to stick to the preop diet, i kindof think if were able to be so disciplined in xalorie restriction, i wouldnt be overweight and needing the surgery. Anyone else jave these thoughts?[/quote']

I have these thoughts all the time. I always read people say how disciplined you have to be after being banded. I feel like if I had discipline I would be the size I am and wouldn't need the band. I've tried countless times to lose and failed each time. Hopefully I won't fail at this :(

Finally got my date September 20 :rolleyes: I still have to get a scope test down my throat on the 13th but so far so good. I am not enjoying the Protein Shakes and no carb meals, but they said have to loose 10 lbs before surgery. already had to loose 36 to get approved and that took a year, wish me luck 10 lbs seems impossible, but I have waited to long to screw up now.

      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.
