Great job! Not sure what to expect next.. Didn't hard to do a 6 month diet. But your surgeons office should keep In touch with u as to what h need to do when!

Welcome to the forum! I too had to do the 6mth supervised diet and like Blondie said, my bariatric team told me every step I needed to take and got me approved.

If I may make a suggestion, spend the next 6mths learning everything you can about the band. What it does and doesn't do. You can get a lot of useful information from this site. You'll also get a lot of support and inspiration too.

Stick around and post often and good luck on your journey!

I had to do a 6 month diet. Just remember, see the same person and don't skip a month, or you have to start all over. it was a good time to learn about the band and the changes I would have to make. The time flew by, and it was not too hard. I actually wasn't expected to lose weight, either :)

      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.
