I was just banded on 7/7/09 and just signed up for this site in the past week. The best thing I did for myself pre-op was to take time eating my meals...portion control...smaller plates and utensils...getting my fluids in...setting time aside for my meals...and walking. This is just my opinion but it has helped me in the past 2 weeks since my surgery. Best of luck to you. I am on opposite sides of the states...I'm all the way in Delaware. Also, congratulations on the 20 pound weight loss! That is great! You are doing wonderful!

Most doctor's have a pre-op diet. You should follow it very closely and you will be fine. Seems like you are already making great decisions for yourself! Good luck, I'm sure you will do great!

      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?

      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.
