I am. Haven't gotten my scheduled date yet. The 2 week fast during Christmas and New Years will be hard.

[Lbktxgal 25]

Yes, its definitely going to be hard. I am already cutting back on my food intake and replacing one meal with a Liquid Protein shake. Not sure if my body is going through withdrawals or its just nerves. I start tomorrow with 2 replacement shakes. Breakfast and dinner. I'm glad I joined this forum; )

My Dr. Doesn't have me on any kind of diet or fast before my surgery. Is that weird?

[Lbktxgal 25]

@slinkielovin when do you go for your pre~op visit? My sx is scheduled for Jan 16th the lap band coordinator advised me of my one week liquid diet b4 surgery. I have been doing good but jump off the bandwagon on the weekends. Best of luck to you!

My pre op is on the morning of the 6 th of January and my operation is on the morning of the 7th of January. Nothing to eat or drink after midnight of the 6 th.

I had no pre-op diet either. Just no food after midnight the night before surgery.
