And I am nervous!! My doctor didnt tell me to do any liquid diets but I have cut down on meals. I drink 2 liquid shakes (Breakfast and dinner) and have a small lunch of light things. Yogurt, cottage cheese, small salad.. etc.

the last 3 days I will go straight liquid.

I got all my Vitamins, Protein powders, cleaned my room, cleaned the house, etc.. now its just count down ... I am nervous

I am scared to death.

I am excited and I am thrilled...

I still cannot get my mind wrapped around the idea of 2 to 3 tablespoons filling me up but I will cross that bridge when it gets there.

Ugh any last minute suggestions??

I'm nervous too and I'm not until June 26. I made the mistake of watching the lap band surgery on YouTube. LOL.

Stock up on gas-x strips and don't forget chapstick. You will both do fine! Congratulations on your surgery dates. Come back to let us know how you make out! Lapband is the best thing I have ever done for myself!

      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.
