I am so excited for all of us May Banders!!!!! I am fortunate enough to be using a doctor that does not require the pre-surgery liquid diet just low carb/high Protein. If I could do the liquid diet without the band chances would be that I wouldn't be doing the surgery.

I had my banding 3/18 and the doctor made me fast on Liquid Protein

for 10 days before to reduce my liver size. He said its easier to get the band on if your liver is smaller. The only thing it really did for me was to make it easier for the post surgery fasting.

Once I was in the process of getting the surgery. I stopped drinking soda and have lost the weight but it has been months and I go up and down anyway.

      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.
