Hi! I am getting banded on 3-25-08. Lucky for me, my Dr. doesn't require a pre-op diet. I'm dreading the first month after the surgery but I know it's going to worth it all. I have had my doubts but last night a friend come by and took pictures of us --- now I am sure about the surgery. Why did I wait so long.

I've heard alot of people talk about the Isopure. Did you get it at GNC? What flavors are good?

I've just started using/testing out the Isopure zero carb flavors. I got them at GNC, but they are $4 a bottle. When I settle on a flavor that I love I will get the 3-5 gallon size of it. So far I like the Icey Orange the best, but the Grape Frost is OK too. I take a few drinks and put in in the freezer until it is slushy... It is a very filling drink, I pretty much sip on it all day, but it is adding another 40 grams of Protein, so it will be worth it in the end.:biggrin:

Hey there. I'm scheduled for surgery on the 19th as well. I start the liquid diet on the 5th. I have already stared a semi-liquid diet now. I have a light Breakfast with a liquid Protein drink. (isopure zero carb) lunch is a solid meal. and dinner is Liquid Protein. Good luck to you!!!!

I was starting to think that I was the only one who needed to work my way into the liquid diet. I am really surprised to see some of the weight come off already though.:)

      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.
