I'm finally going to be banded in a couple weeks!! I'm currently doing the pre op diet and with a little help from the Lord will meet my 10% weight loss requirement. Any advice help, or how much you all lost during pre op diet would be great

Congratulations! You will do well on your pre-op just stick to the instructions that your Dr. gave you and you should lose the required weight. I lost about 15 pounds on my pre-op and my husband lost 18.

My 10% is 26 pounds and she is determined that I can loose that much. I'm having a hard time, 12 more days to go! I'm very excited too Barb. I hope and pray the next 12 days go by very quickly.

      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.
