I think sometimes people just dwell on the negative unfortunately. We are all on board here so keep your chin up as you are doing it for your health and that is what is important!

Hello.. Brand new to the site... I will be having my surgery on August 2nd. My pre-op is today and my two week diet starts tomorrow. I'm extremely nervous and have had a few of my friends give me their opinion on it.. ugh.. If its not nice don't say anything at all.. but I know why i'm doing this.. Hopefully we will have support here.

Welcome! I'm day 12 of a 28 day pre-op (yay almost halfway!!) and getting banded on August 5th. I'm nervous too about the surgery but am looking forward to a healthier me! Unfortunately there are always going to be negative people, but it is your body, your life, your decision! Everyone I have spoken to who has already been banded says its the best thing they ever did.. And hopefully we'll be saying the same thing very soon!! I have already lost 18 pounds and can't believe the difference it has made. My back has stopped aching and my clothes fit better. Can't imagine how it will feel to lose 100!!!

Thanks. I am interested to see the variation in preop diets. Some are on full liquids and some don't have a preop diet.

I am finding it interesting also. I will start my pre-op diet the 28th. I will be full liquids for 2 weeks. I can have lean meats, dairy, and non starchy vegs the first 7 days. I have a very strict food guideline that I cannot stray from. Must eat or drink at least 60 gms protein/day and lots of Water.

My date is set for August 12th and I start my 4 week pre-op today! I'm excited yet nervous that I might cheat cause my boy friend is a bit of a diet sabotager. But with this site I'm sure I'll have enough support to stay on track!

I'm august 12th too! Best of luck to you!
