we all go thru that. today i am 4 days post op, and glad i did it.

hi. each doctor does the pre op diet differently, for me, i had to have one shake in the morning, for lunch i had 2 cups of salad greens, with 3 oz of lean protein, and veggies, then for mid afternoon snack another protein shake, for supper i was told i could get a lean cousine frozen meal that had no more than 300 calories, with at least 14g of protein, and before bedtime i had another shake. i promise you, i was never hungry. the reason for this diet is to shrink your liver size, so they can access the area where the band goes easier. good luck. today i am 4 days post op.

I had my surgery on the 20th!!! No nausea ( i asked for the nausea patch), I do need to remove it today...omg...Also, for the first few days, dont worry about the 64 oz of water...just drink like the prior post, keep the bottle with you and sip all day..Walk, Walk, Walk...helps with clotting and boredom!!I live on a 2nd floor, so i have not gone out yet, but i walk on the treadmill. You can do it. WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!

you have not failed until you give up! DO NOT GIVE UP!!! IM 2 DAYS POST SURGERY..I NEED A GOOD ROLE MODEL!!!!

I purposely DO NOT OWN A SCALE!! I excersised at the gym 4-5 times a week prior to surgery. Muscle mass weigh more than fat. Therefore, If you weigh yourself every day, or every other day, the numbers will probably not change, or even gain. I know or knew i was loosing because my pants needed a belt, i never owned a belt. If you are excersising, that is probably where that pound came from. The 2 week pre op diet is difficult. but remember, you can add sugar free jello, cucumbers, celery, etc. keep a hand full of these with you, just in case. what i did, i ate my jello before i went to the gym in the morning, had my shake around 9:30, my lunch 12:45, another shake around 5, and supper wheni got home 6:30, my final shake i drank one hour before bedtime. lost 7 lbs on the 2 week pre op.
