First one for May???

[drehn88 251]

First day of pre-op diet is almost over. My diet consists of 2 meals of lean protein/veggies (breakfast and dinner) and 2 meals of Protein Shakes (lunch and snack). I got a little hunger an hour or so before lunch. The shake was not the worst thing, but definitely not the best either. Not sure how long that will last before I really start complaining about them. I can have unlimited veggies/sf jello/sf popsicles. That's a lifesaver. I'm not hunger at all now. I think it's just going to get easier. The key is to stay busy and not let the "head" hunger get the best of you.

Wow! Lucky u. I'm on all liquids. Soups, broths, SF Jello & popsicles. I'm starving. These Protein Shakes are starting to taste gross. Starting to make smoothies instead. I'm 7 days preop. Band day is May 6th. I have two more weeks of this diet :-(

I commend those of you that are on liquid diets before surgery. Either it's a good thing because you will be ready for the diet after surgery or bad because you will really be tired of Protein Shakes by then. Hang in there. It's just a drop in time.

Wow, there is a lot of variation in these pre-op diets, hey? A new me - you have to be on it for three weeks? wow, that's a long time especially for just liquids. and then drehn you are able to eat Proteins and veg... such a big difference. I guess it is really dependent on the surgeon.

Cat whisperer, I started last week an I go til my surgery day which is three weeks long. I have another two weeks to go. Its very hard. So many parties that I have to attend that I cant eat or drink at. I'm focused on my goal.

[drehn88 251]

Cat whisperer...what is your pre-op diet?

[cat whisperer 127]

Three weeks is a LONG time for just liquids... hang in there!!

I know mine will just be liquids too but it is only for two weeks.

LOL drehn I posted at the exact same time as you... and strangely enough answered the question too, somewhat... haha

Yup, just liquids. I go for my pre-surgery appointments tomorrow so will find out in more detail exactly what liquids!

It'll be great to meet and I'm looking forward to learning more tomorrow. I don't even know what size of band we're getting or anything. I have lots of questions for tomorrow. Not during exercise therapy though. I better do a lot of listening in that particular class!!!
