Hi everybody, I'm having my surgery April 11th. in Houston by Dr. Yu. I'm on a 2 week liquid diet and I have to drink atleast 3 shakes a day. My nerves have really kicked in these past 2 days and I have to keep telling myself that I'm going to be ok and that this is for the best. Best wishes for everybody else!

Hi everyone! It is the 15th now so I assume a lot of you have been Sleeved? Diane, I'm a lapband revision also and having it done the day before you. I only have to do the 3 day clear liquid diet but I'm going to do the Protein Drinks and liquids and mushy food 3 days before the clear liquid diet. I hope everyone's operation went smoothly. Maybe there is another site where people came back in and wrote about it? I just figured out how to use this site...I think! lol My operation is being done in Mexico by Dr. Kelly. I think I'll go explore this place to see what others have to say that had it done already. Good luck every one. :)

      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.
