Congrats on your approval!!! I get banded Aug. 23. My dr. doesn't require a pre-op diet either but I am choosing to do it anyway just so there will be no complications and I can shrink my liver (the whole reason behind a pre-op diet). In my mind I feel like I need to do it.

Good luck on your endeavor:)

Not sure about any of the other stuff since I'm not banded yet (aug. 23) but the Lipton Diet Mixed Berry Green tea is SOOOO yummy. I buy it all the time now and that's all I drink besides water w/ Crystal Light. I've now cut out all soda from my diet and haven't had soda in almost a month. I'm not even missing it. I love the tea!!!!

yeah, I'm planning on taking a couple shakes and lots of water (w/ Crystal Light). Would watermelon be ok on the liquid diet? Regardless of the reunion, I still want options. I mean, watermelon does have the word "WATER" in it right! LOL

I'll do broths at home and shakes and sf popsicles and sf jello but I know I will just want to sink my teeth into something.

Everyone's version of their pre-op diet is different, some got to eat lean meats and veggies and others are strictly liquids. Since my dr. doesn't require this pre-op I don't know which is best and what do to. I just want to ensure less complications at surgery.

Hello Ashley! My name is Missy and I, too, live in Indiana. I'm currently awaiting insurance approval (fingers crossed). I'm about the same size as you and weight and my BMI is 40%.

GOod luck to you on your journey.

Love reading your blogs. I am awaiting insurance approval, well, actually the dr. office is sending their write up in this week. I hope to be as optimistic as you!! Wishing you continued success....
