I'm also from Texas, I'm getting a revision Lap Band to Sleeve on Oct 16. My pre op diet is 2 shakes 1 meal and liquids only on day before surgery. Not bad at all ????

what area of Texas are you from if you dont mind me asking? I'm getting sleeved on the 13th in Mcallen Tx. My Dr only requested 1 day before to eat light. 1 boiled egg and toast with no butter for Breakfast , for lunch and dinner only Clear Liquids and at 2pm I have to start drinking the bottle of magnesium citrate to clear my intestines (not so excited about that lol)

I am scheduled for November 4th.

Your pre-op diet is what I am doing, but for a full two weeks.

It is so crazy how different they all are. I am just hoping to get used to smaller portions.

I am having surgery on the 13th and my surgeon said no preop diet for me either. I meet for preop on Monday and see if she had any further instruction.

What shakes or clear liquids do you all like? I have found a few now.

I like the low sodium chicken broth and today I found a beef broth that has roasted garlic and onion taste. It is a Safeway brand, but needed something different since Ive been on chicken broth for a week now.

      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.
