Shopping and Sex! Shopping because I can fit into a size 12, as opposed to pre-surgery, where I couldn't fit my legs into a size 18. And sex because I just feel better about myself. I cannot wait for my man to come home

Otter Pops are these yummy Popsicles that come in different yummy flavors..haha. But it's awful because the after taste hits you like dry Protein hay. Right after surgery my doctor ordered Clear liquids for 4 days, so I was forced to drink Isopure. Every time I tried to drink it I would gag and gag. Eventually I mixed it in with sugar free drinks or G2 and it made it "ok".

Definitely, absolutely, NOT Isopure, Zero Carb, 40g of protein. The initial taste brings familiarity of Otter Pops, the aftertaste, I cannot begin to describe how awful it is. As I'm typing, I'm gagging.

Autumn, good luck with your pre-op diet, you're starting Thursday right? I've lost 15lbs since the 17th of August, hopefully another 10 before surgery. Keep me updated, good luck!

I was just approved for the lap band earlier this month, my surgery is scheduled for September 14th, but I just started the pre-op diet on the 17th of August, for a total of four weeks! Anyone ever heard of this? I'm down 5lbs in 3 days. It was explained to me that the reason for the pre-op diet (not the reason for the length) is to shrink the liver and abdominal area and to show commitment to the program. But, on average I see 1-2 weeks, not 4! I am very motivated and excited, but I just wanted to know if anyone else has gone through this. I'm 5'6.5 and as of now I weigh 246 (starting was 251). Thanks for your input!

I'm new to this website but after 10 months of fighting with my insurance I finally got my date: September 14th! I just started my four week pre-op diet yesterday, has anyone ever heard of a four week pre-op diet? I've lost 2lbs already! But, it's going to be tough, liquids, protein shakes, jello, juice, Greek yogurt (that's about it!) It's been a tough two days
