October Bandsters?

[jlbachmann 25]

Which preop are you doing? My surgeon requires 2 weeks of strictly Optifast. It's been ok but I'm really hungry right now. I've been blogging my adventures with the whole process and just uploaded a long one about my first day on the diet. http://thefatgirlthin.blogspot.com/

I am doing the barriatic liquid diet 2 meals of the Meal Replacement and 1 Soup and 1 sugar free snack, Jello, pudding etc. for the next 2 weeks.

Hey there!!! That's my band day too!!! I started the liquid diet yesterday. The day time is okay but I did go to sleep hungry last night. Good luck to you and let's keep in touch.

I would like that. I went to bed hungry last night too. You are right the day time is much better because I can occupy my time with work. Not so much at night.

My surgeon has not instructed me to do a pre op diet , is this normal?

I was told at my very first visit there would be a pre-op diet. It was part of the "introduction" meeting. The nutrionist spoke of this several times as well. I suppose it all depends on your surgeons point of view. I am with Bluepoint Surgical Group in Northern Virginia. They seem to have a lot of "rules" that made me crazy at first. But, I now that I'm at the point of pre-op diet I understand it much better.

Give me strength!

I'm 10 days away from my surgery and the thought of those shakes makes me way to throw up ( I have 2 a day ).

My surgeon told me it was to shrink the liver so they don't have to do as much work to move it. This also helps with recovery time I am told. Anything to reduce recovery time is what I am thinking.

I was told the samething but when I researched shrinking the liver it said the liver can't be shrunk in two weeks that its something.that happens over time
