Woohoo! My surgery is set for Nov. 3rd assuming all the bloodwork (which I don't do until Oct 21st) comes back as normal and I don't expect it won't.

I am so geeked! I've been 'attempting' to eat low carb this week, but now I'm really motivated to watch what I eat. Since my doc doesn't prescribe any pre-surgery diet, I think I'll do my Isopure Protein shake for Breakfast, salad with some low fat cheese in it for lunch and low carb green vegies and Protein for dinner. Three weeks of that should make it easier for them to grub around my liver and so I won't feel so bloated going into surgery.

Well, after tonight. I know...I shouldn't say 'after' but my son is going to school to be a chef and tonight is one of their quarterly international dinners. Since this one is French, it stands to reason that it will be high in fat with all the sauces that are typically French, but hopefully I can keep the carbs to a dull roar.

Perhaps it's time for a ticker...and yes I am going to put my highest weight because I am very proud off the fact that I took of 70 lbs and kept it off.

Lap Band Buddy!

Is your doc making you do a liquid diet or special diet pre-surgery?

Mine isn't, but I'm going to do a low carb, high Protein diet anyway. It can only help!

I went to GNC tonight to stock up on some Alpine Punch and Mango Peach Isopure. Tasty enough that I won't upchuck them, but not so tasty that I'll go, "Hey...think I'll have another." :scared2:

Yeah, I have to do low carb, high Protein diet for two weeks and then liquids the day before surgery (nothing to eat or drink after midnight since my surgery is scheduled for 8:45am). I have been sampling different things, but the Alpine Punch adn Mango Peach Isopure sounds good. I'll have to check it out. I've tried the unjury (I think that's it, will have to check when I get home) and it tasts good as well.

      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.
