I have no formal pre-op plan. I just can't gain wait before surgery.

:(

I actually put myself on my own plan starting yesterday (because surgery is two weeks away)... Been doing Protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch and having a protest rich dinner. Am hoping this will make the transition easier.

I am ready to get this surgery done with already! :)

Best wishes, for the first day of your new life, tomorrow! My banding date is 19 Aug. I'm excited & a bit nervous. Sure a lot of people have felt that way. was supposed to begin my 2-wk pre=op diet tomorrow, but my daughter & family were here on vacation and I lost track of time on ordering my Protein powder; ordered this past Fri. a.m. Hopefully, it'll be delivered no later than this Tuesday. :huh:

Going well. Admittedly, I was much more sore and tired than I anticipated. Today is the first day of 'phase 2' of my post-op diet I will say, though, that I am amazed how much better I felt yesterday and today compared to Monday & Tuesday.

      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.
