Hi ChristyC from Michigan. I am getting banded on May 20th.

All went so fast and well, I am looking forward to it...but trying to lose

some before surgery. Any suggestions will help!! I need it. Thanks

Hi Christy:

My doctor had us on all liquids ten days pre-op. That meant having sugar free drinks, clear broths, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello.

I cannot tell by your posting how much you weigh. Maybe your doctor isn't concerned with you losing weight before your surgery.

Best wishes for your surgery and weight loss.

Take care.

Sue

hey christy,

i'm being banded on may 20th also. my doc doesn't have me on a pre-op diet either. but he did tell me to lose 5-10lbs. I've been trying to do two liquid Protein Drinks a day with one weight watchers (or similar) tv dinner. i'll have a snack of some turkey brest, or a yogert or somthing healthy if i get really hungry. but, i'm not losing what i thought i would be, so i'm going to *TRY* to have all liquids soon...we will see how that goes :tt1:
