Hi, I'm scheduled for October 8 with Dr. Ren at NYU in New York. I start liquids on this coming Friday the 21st. It's taken 9 months to get to this point. I'm ready to get on with it!

The liquid diet helps to shrink the liver & make the surgery easier for both the doctor and the patient.

My preparation took 9 months in order to get everything lined up properly so the insurance company would approve without problems (I hope). Although I had done Weight Watchers, my doctor recommended that I do 6 months with him so we could claim medical supervision.

I haven't had a moment's doubt about doing this. I wish it had been faster, but things happen at their proper time.

I'm getting my surgery Oct 12. I started on my pre-op diet yesterday . I have to go on a three week diet because my BMI is over 40. I am so anxious. I can't hardly wait. I'm like a kid waiting for Santa...lol

Hi, I'm new too. Started process in April, have a 10/5/07 date for my lap band. Started my 2 wks of carnation instant Breakfast yesterday, only on day 2 and I'm really starved, have a headache , and am almost nauseated from hunger. I am not drinking enough no cal liquids, so hope to do better with that from now on to see if it helps. Any suggestions to beat the hungers when you are pre op? thanks

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
