Two weeks seems to be the most frequent time choice of pre-op diets. If the dr thinks its good enough then you should be fine.

My clinic put a anti nausia patch behind our ear just before surgery and leaves it there for 3 days. I'm greatful for this because the anasti(I cannot spell that word you all know what I mean LOL) makes me really nausous. There may be something they can give you post op to help with that.

The last 2 days have been really bad for me. It hasn't helped that every time I try to eat something, like oatmeal, or jello or drink a shake at work I'm interupted and by the time I get back to my desk its cold/warm. I've missed breakfast and or lunch for 2 days and I just can't catch up on my protein. I'm hoping tomorrow will be better.

Wow they are really shoving you through. I thought I was rushed getting rushed having only 4 weeks to get through everything. Seeing your dr one day and starting the liquid diet the next seems a bit fast good choice going with the later date.

19 in less than a week? I want to say reap the benifits, since you're going to the dr tomorrow s/he'll tell you tomorrow if something is wrong with that. That is awesome.

I've been fat since I was 12, I'm 40 now. My mom asked me to think about how I'm going to look this time next year and I just can't picture it. I've not been thin since I was a child. The closest I ever got was when I got down to 200lbs in college and I thought that was pretty good. My husband married me at 250lbs my kids have only known me at this weght. I just don't know what I'm going to do with a thin me. My BFF of 30 years asked me today if I was going to stop being her friend becuase I won't be fat anymore, she weighs the same as I do but is only 5'1" and I am 5'7". She's already not talking to me as much, she doesn't want me to do this, she doesnt' want to be the last fat friend,she's talked me out of this twice before, but not this time. When I was diagnosed with Hight blood pressure on my 40th birthday, I said enough , I'm doing this. My surgery is in 6 days.

Wow I thought I was doing good I'm on day 7 and down 6 lbs. I shouldn't read this type of stuff because I'm sure I will be one of those who loses their weight painfully slow, in fact I'm prepaired to eat 1000 cals a day and still only lose .5 a week.

Have you tried different shakes? If that one is so gross try the carnation breakfasts they are so far the best thing I've had, they dont' have as much Protein, but they do the trick for me.

Dec 15 is a popular day, I'm on the 14th so just a day ahead of everyone. I'm on day 4 of the liquids and its Ok most of the time, I have the biggest problems when my family is eating. That is tuff as I usually have to make dinner and then sit and talk to the kids while they eat, just so they can have the normalcy that we had before. My daughter is freaked by me doing this so I'm having to really do things I'd rather not do right now so she's comfortable.

This is crazy, some people have no preop diet other have a day or 3 others have a week some have 2 weeks yet others have 3 weeks? Makes you wonder why some require this tortureus diet so long before the surgery and others don't. I'm on day 3 and Its going to be a long 11 days before my surgery.

I'm hoping tomorrow will be better than today. Yeah I about threw up my lunch when I was finally able to eat. My surgery is the 14th, day after yours, looks like.

How much protien are you being told to have every day? I'm pretty much living on CIB, the sugar free stuff. I'm on day 2 of the liquid diet, and am not physically hungry at them moment and was suprised yesterday that I wasn't starving like I thought I would be, well my MIND said I was starving but my stomach disagreed. I was told to have been 60 and 80 grams and I had about 68 grams yestereday but have only managed about 53 today, but I had fasting blood work this morning and didn't get to eat until 12:30 and am just too sloshy full right now to "eat" anything else.

I had my gal bladder out about 2 years ago and it wasn't so bad, I was sore for a few days but nothing major. I'm having my band done on December 14th.
