Hello all, I am new to the site, but very excited to be on a site where everyone is either going through the same thing or has had the procedure done. I have been trying for 2 years to have my lap band done and my insurance approved it about a week ago I am going to have the surgery done on March 30, and I need to start my liquid diet on the 16th of March. Can some of you give me feed back on the two week before surgery of the total liquid diet was it hard?

Hi there, Congrats on having your surgery soon. I will have mine Weds, and because they scheduled it so soon, I won't be on the liquid diet for long. I have been on the pre-op liquid diet for 3 days now. :) Its no fun,lol. liquid goes in liquid goes out. My stomach is constantly rumbling. I'm basically eating slimfast, Jello, broth, diet coke, Water and Propel. I have gotten alittle light headed a few times, so if any one can help us, it would be apprecieated!

      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.
