I recommend to take the days off. I also work in a office and was banded on May 3rd. I went to work after the 3rd day. Needless to say I didn't last all day at work. The gas pain kicked in and it was hard to keeping working. So If I had to redo this I would deff take the days off.

Thanks for all the input and don't worry i will wait before i can have food..I do 2 days of clear liquids then the third day i can add mushies stuff....Thanks Again everyone

Just had my surgery today and I was reading on food getting stuck but don't see how or what u can do to unstuck it..My question is what do u do when u have food get stuck and How can u get food unstuck? That's my only fear so what do I do. Good Luck everyone on ur Journey!!!!

Yes, the pre opt diet is to shrink the liver not really to lose weight.. I have lost 8lbs so far and get banded on may 3rd... Might need to get with your doctor and check if ur needing to lose wieght before surgery or its to shrink your liver...

Yes, I can have either but the Water isnt hard cause it water. It's hard cause i dont drink alot .. I can go all day with this 20 oz water and still not finish it.. I know thats sad..Lol..

I am on the 2 wks pre opt diet. Low Carp, No Sugar and High Protiens of no lower then 60 grams no higher then 80 grams... this was not easy.... Its 2 protien shakes and 1 meal.. My meal is 4oz chicken breast with .5 cup of green beans and slices of avocados and 2 shakes. I snack on apples or even some tomatoes. I drink the Lean Body ready to go...only one I found that I liked.I have my surgery on May 3rd. I'm a bit nervous cause I know am not even close to drinking all the water I should be.. am lucky to get one 20oz of water a day:( , so far I have lost 8lbs... Good Luck to everyone!!

Texas here and my cost is $9900.00 and 1 yr after care. After that office visits are $75.00..so far thats all I paid. I get banded on May 3rd

I very picky about the proties shakes. I finally found one called Lean Body they have banana, cookie n cream, starwberry and chocolate...so far these are the only ones i like and will drink......good luck to u both
