KStar, thank you so much for the well wishes. I am about to drink that vile Fleet soda and am not looking forward to the rest of my day. I have gone thru a great range of emotions the past 2 days, but, I am looking forward to this new journey. Yesterday was my 49th birthday and I said that I wanted to be Fit at Fifty! So, here we go. :clap2:

Hey Gang,

So I'm on this liquid diet that is very low in calories: 3 shakes per day and salad. I am felt a little light-headed after yoga today. Anybody else feeling lightheaded on the liquid diet?

Anyone else exercising? What kinds of exercise are you doing?

5 day count down to banding!

What kind of liquid is everyone on? I start on them october 4th!

I love this site, it has been so helpful, I have a notebook full of stuff. Things I need before the surgery. Mary

I start liquid diet on the 4th too! My surgeon provides HMR 800 at the preop visit. "Provides" it for $129 for a 2 week supply! lol

My nutritionist gave me one of 5 pre-op liquid diets to follow and she said that I was just as good going for the Slimfast Optima. She mentioned that it was inexpensive, easy to find and portable. So, Target had them on sale last week for $5 a box so I stacked up!

Okay...does anyone know what this *sliming* thing is?

When food get stuck in your pouch, your body makes lots and lots of saliva to try and get it down. If you can't swallow it, you need to spit it out. It's gross.

If we remember to eat the bandster way (chew slowly and take small bites) it shouldn't happen.

      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.
