I am going to start the Pre op diet on monday.. not looking forward to it but I am looking forward to the outcome. I just got a call at 9am this morning that I am approved. Now I am waiting for the nurse to call me back with a surgery date. Good thing we all have cell phones if I had to sit by a house phone and wait I would go nuts. Just this waiting is driving me nut... can anyone give me an idea of their pre op diet is.

Hey everyone! I had my surgery at 8 am today and I was home by 2:30 this afternoon. The pain isn't so bad, just some aching and gas in my upper abdomen. Gas X and liquid Percocet are controlling it nicely. All and all things are going great!

Thanks everyone! Guy, I am on Clear Liquids From Friday (surgery day) until Sunday, then I slowly add in other full liquids for 4 to 7 days, then I'll be on purreed food until my 2 week postop appointment, after which they will hopefuly let me start having soft solids.

By the way, I got some Isopure and a couple other clear prottien drinks from GNC, that way I'm still getting the Protein my body needs to heal!

Hi everyone,

I feel like it is going to be forever for me (Oct.29th). But I am glad to read that most of you are having good experiences. I go for my PATs on Wednesday, but my doc does not require a pre liquid diet, I am still practing the chewing part. I think this is going to be the most difficult thing for me to change. On average I chew three times and swallow, so this will be a BIG behavorial change for me.

Wishing you that have been banded good luck, and those that are yet to be banded, you are in my thoughts and I am rooting for you.

best to all.. barb

Hey caseyb, you asked about others' pre-op diets. Mine is a 2 week liquid diet. Protein Shakes, broths, tea, and all the Water I can drink ;-)

I'm amazed at how different all the pre-op diets are. Some have no pre-op diet while I've seen others post 3 month diets. You'd think there would be a more uniform way to do this. My band date is 10/19--Bring it on!

      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.
