Good luck to all who are going through their surgery today and this week. Speedy recovery and a happy band life to all.

Hey Kathystrick....what is your pre-op diet. I started mine last week and have 8 days to go. I hate to say this but I am not minding the diet. I have all clear, sugar free liquids with the exception of a protien drink in the morning. I will do anything just to get this done and on the road to a new life. I think the thing that saves me on this diet is the chicken broth. I worry about the sodium in it so will head to town to get some low sodium broth. Hang in there, Kathy. It will be over b/4 you know it.

ch4life... I went on a 3 day 2 nite field trip to new york while I was on my pre-op diet and it was not so bad...

As per my dr. I had to drink 5 Atkins shakes a day and the days were all scheduled and went by super fast so it actually made it easier!!

You will do great... and guess what when the surgeon told me my liver was nice and small and he had tons of room to work with it was all worth it!!

Hang tough girl... u can do it!!!

If anything just be super good now and do a super shrink for the next 4 days!!!

PS I cheated too :P

Just pay attention to how much Protein and calories you are getting...

I know all doctors are different mine was very firm on 5 Atkins shakes a day... that still was not even 1000 calories but it was wnough protien... the protein is important to help in healing...

Just a thought... you will do good girl...

and if you are like me you will be asking him while still groggy and morphine induced about how the liver looked!!

You will be done b4 u know it!!!

Good morning everyone...only 2 more days for me, I will be banded on the 12th...my journey has been long (almost 2 years from the time my family doctor made the referral for me to have my surgery...as the only way you can have lap band surgery in Alberta is thru the Provincial medical insurance it is a long process but very worth it - I could have selected self pay and gone elsewhere but decided to give the system a try and it worked out for me)...I have been living the prep op diet of Optifast and non starchy vegtables for almost 2 weeks...it has been surprisingly easy (I think because I know it is only for 2 weeks and then a new phase will start)...I have not cheated once and am proud of myself for that...I wish everyone who is having surgery today good luck and I am looking forward to hearing how they are doing in tomorrows updates...This site has been fabulous and I have received a lot of information and incite and I thank everyone...I can't wait until after my surgery to add in my update...talk to you in a day or two...:thumbup:

      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.
