Recommended Posts

Hi, after looking back through my briefng notes my pre banding diet consists of only,

Water,

1 oxo cube,

limited milk,

2 yogarts.:)

it is suggested i start this at least 7 days before D Day,:wink2:

I have no idea how i'll survive this and have warned Husband and children to stay away, :angry_smile:Ha Ha.

Has anybody else been on this diet as all the other posts iv'e read you have all been on "slim fast" or similer products.

HELP.:)

Dunkley, so sorry to hear you have to do an awful starvation diet before your surgery. I am one of the lucky ones. My doctor doesn't require this. I am very grateful because I don't think I could handle the stress of preparing for surgery whilst starving myself at the same time. Good luck and hang in there. It'll be over soon.

Hey, Sandy! You and I are being banded by the same doc on the same day! How cool is that? I've got the 0930 slot. Isn't Dr. Baptista a sweetie?

I'm allowed Clear liquids like Crystal Light, hot tea, bouillions, SF popsicles, and SF Jello. It's not easy and I basically told my family to fend for themselves. Every time they cook or eat I lock myself in here in the home office. I've lots of sympathy for 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.
