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

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; )

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

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

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
