Lap Band surgery virgin

Hello all you wonderful people! I am half way through my pre-surgery steps. I go to see the nutritionist next. I went to a support group and heard from people that have had the surgery for 18 months and more. The "food getting stuck" thing kind of scares me.

Is anyone doing the pre-surgery diet? What is it like and how's it going?

Welcome Bobbijo, I am doing my pre-surg. diet.

I just got off of the 1200 cal. and am now on my opti-fast. I had to lose 15lbs in 3 weeks for my surgery and I have lost 14.4 and still have a week and a half to go. It was'nt bad at all(the 1200 cal.) and from what I see in my support class the people who are already on shakes are doing good. I look at it as being one more step to my goal, a healthier me. The more I lose now the less I have on "the other side".:thumbup:

It had me worried as well when they told me I had to lose 15 in 3.5 weeks, but after my first few days it got easier and easier. Good luck and I hope it goes smooth for u, let us all know how you're doing.
