There is usually a good reason for such delays. Hang in there. It will be here before you know it.

I've been on Clear liquids for a week and would just about kill for some creamy Soup. My guess is in addition to allowing the stomach to heal and the swelling to go down, the clear liquid stage also allows cravings and carb addictions to subside before re-introducing solid food. It has been a long week but hopefully worth it. 12# is nothing to sneeze at.

This is a great site. Already got a lot of useful info from you all. I'm required to do Liquid Protein for 5 days prior to surgery. It's been 3 days and I'm down 7lbs already!! Having a lot of the same mixed emotions you've described. Looking forward to having an easier time running around and playing tennis carrying a lot less weight. Only planning to take one week off work..... Any thoughts on this?? My job is sedentary at a computer....

Thanks!:smile2:

Hello my fellow Febuary Bandsters! I was banded on Feb 4th, and right now I guess I'm down about 20 pounds...but I say my scale is broken because I didn't loose a pound this week! I'm still on full liquids (4 weeks) so I wonder if it's because it was my "time of the month"...but I guess I'll get a better read on this Wed when I go for my first post opp appointment. Wish me luck!

A week should be plenty. I could have returned to work after four or five days if I was employed :)

Way to go, Ms Courtney!!! I didn't have to do the pre-op either. I was just banded Friday and a little swollen, so I'm afraid to hop on the scale just yet. I can't wait.....ok, maybe I can....to start exercising. I am going to walk around the block today though. Hope I am as successful as you.

      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.
