My surgery is tomorrow 10/1! I had a lap band 6 years ago and about a year ago started getting acid reflux at night. After I did the wonderful swallow test it was confirmed that my band had slipped. Dr took most of my Fluid out. Still had some acid reflux so new Dr wants to take out lap band and do the sleeve. He plans to do it all tomorrow as long as everything looks good. I am nervous and hope my surgery goes as planned. It helps knowing there is support here!

Note: my Dr says a lot of lap bands have been failing and they have been replacing them. I think it happened after a fill I had and couldn't eat so he took some fluid out.

My surgery date is Oct 29th. I start my two-week liquid diet on Oct 15th. I can have up to 4 Protein shakes a day and 64 oz of Water plus sugar-free popsicles and sugar-free Jello. I'm ready for this to happen! It's taken me a long time to get to this point and I'm so ready for this to happen.

I've already basically cut all soda from my diet and the next step is to cut out carbonation. Right now, I'm drinking sugar-free flavored water, but it's carbonated. That is my next goal before surgery. Cut carbonation. I drink about 3 bottles of Water a day and each is about 32 oz so I can get the water in.

thats the same pre-op diet they put me on. I needed to stop the sweetness so I added chicken broth which is only 10 kcal for an 8 oz can. To this I can add this unflavored Protein powder I found at the Vitamin shoppe.

Layknee the unflavored Protein Powder is the best. I can get 30 grams and not even taste it. I love it . I use GENEPRO I ordered it from Amazon.< /p>

      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.
