Ive been on clear liquids and protein shakes since last Wednesday. Until yesterday I was also eating a sensible dinner too. Now it's all liquids. I've had 700 calories today and 72g of protein. I'm feeling rumbly in the tumbly tho. How about you?

Thank you so much for the info on the Coromegas! My PCP called last week to let me know my triglycerides are in the 300s so I need to get going on it. Itll improve post banding too. This Wednesday is my placement day!!!

I'm the 18th too. My pre op diet is just clear liquids with two to three premier protein shakes each day. I'm kinda hating it but I can do it. We're almost there!!!

My doc says only clear liquids and protein shakes but I'm teetering between queezy and starving. I did add some steamed carrots today, it seems to have helped. good luck!

I'm on for Wednesday too but don't have a time yet. Yaaaaay for us! Are you dreaming about lap bands like I am?

Oh now I see you are no longer Ap 18. May will be here in no time. Good luck!

I'm April 18 too! No ulcers here tho, ouch. 2 more weeks! Wish it was yesterday. I'm so ready

The article kinda hacked me off. I read it this morning and have been steaming about it all day.

I think it's kinda crappy you were charged for that!

I plan to take an omega 3/fish oil but the caps are huge! I know of a banded person that bites hers open and drinks the oil-strawberry flavored only. Otherwise yucko! I'm pre op but I've been advised to take gummy vits, gummy fiber, folic acid, calcium chews and thiamin. Which is a lot of stuff! Wondering if I need all this...

Inspiration! I'm pre op, 3 more weeks and I want to be a hotty (har har) by Christmas. And thank you for sharing your daily diet. I love hearing about successes

Wow! I guess I need to be looking into contraception options! So glad this thread was posted. BTW I'm going Mirena. Or Paraguard.

And it seems a lot of us are hairdressers or nurses. Next we will all be having bladder suspensions since we have to hold it all day too!

I'm April 18! I'm bursting with excitement but nervous and hoping I can be successful at this. Nice to meet you all! Anybody in the St Louis MO area?

My doc didn't tell me I had to lose weight during my pre op week of clears and protein shakes but the goal he wanted was for my liver to shrink. A friend of mine who saw a different surgeon had to do just 3 days of clears and protein shakes. I can't imagine 2 weeks of it.

I'm scheduled for band placement in 5 weeks, I'm like a kid waiting for Santa. It cannot get here fast enough! But I too weighed the options, it was frustrating. I wanted results, obviously, but didn't feel comfortable with removal of the stomach and rerouting, malabsorption etc.. So I'm thankful for this forum. All the support and information. My surgeon has been very helpful as well. As long as you remember it's a tool and not the solution, the rest is up to you! Right?
