I am getting super excited for my band date! Struggling a little with the clear liquid diet, but I know many other people have made it through! Does anyone have tips on dealing with the days before surgery???

I am on a clear liquid diet for 1 week pre-surgery. I'm on day 3 and hanging in there! It's tough - no doubt about it! I can only have broth (no veggies or meat in it), 100% juice (diluted 1/2 & 1/2 with water), sugar free Jello, Propel Zero or other non-sugar, non-carbonated Water, and sugar free popsicles..... I've lost 5 pounds already, so that is helping my mood! Unfortunately, I still have to feed my kids - and that is hard!!! I'm not going to cheat though - this is too important!!

I am scheduled for Wednesday, the 27th, so we're pretty much at the same stage. I know you're nervous, but remember the people in the OR with you have done this SO many times. I've had different surgeries through the years and have never had a problem. I'm sure you will be just fine.

Hope to hear how you're doing in a week!!!

Hi all, I started my liquid diet on Tuesday and am scheduled for my band on Wednesday 4/17. I'm struggling a bit with the liquids - getting headaches, feeling a little lightheaded at times. Does anyone have tips that might help me?

I was just scheduled for surgery as well. I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet. I hope everything went well for you today!!
