I was banded on April 18. I have only lost 12 lbs including my pre-op diet. I have stopped losing weight. I am still on liquids but must admit I am not getting my protein in and am only getting about 600-700 calories. I am not suppose to start mushies until Wednesday and then not solids until a week after that. Any suggestions on what I can do to get over this hump?

You go girl! That is great news.

Good Luck to you as well. See you on the other side.

Really excited and nervous about surgery tomorrow. Any words of wisdom anyone?

Awesome!

Glad your doing well.

I have been on my post-op diet for two weeks. 2 protein shakes a day and 6 oz. of lean meat a cup of green veggies and a cup of fruit per day. (also crystal light, sugar free popsicles, and such) I have not really been hungry to much. My doc did not require the all liquid diets that some do. How long do you have to be on all liquid?

For sure I am dreaming about lap bands. Good luck to you. I am really nervous how about you? How long on your pre-op diet?

Just got the time for my surgery Wednesday. Have to be there at 8:30 am. Day surgery for me. Had a two week pre-op diet, down 10lbs. Really excited and nervous. I know things are going to go well.

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. Mine is scheduled for Wednesday.

My surgery is in 6 days and I'm right there with you in the nerve thing.
