There is no way we can answer that. You will definitely have to ask your doctor and let him decide.

Just remember, if he does postpone the surgery, it's a good thing. It's not worth risking serious complications or your health for an elective surgery.

Best wishes.

Your stomach bugs must be because to the some bad items or agent in you shake. So it is always advised to maintain a very healthy and nutritional diet plan after the surgery that will help you gain a quick weight loss without any side effects. I was in the same situation few months before then Lap Band Surgery Book helped me a lot more information about the prevention, precautions, diet plans etc of the surgery. You will get more information about the software from : http://www.lapbandsolutionbook.com/lap-band-meal-planner-book.php

      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.
