For everyone on their pe-op diet just hang in there it does get better. I'm on the last wheel of mine ( started on may 3rd) I have my surgery Friday and I just had to keep in mind if I cheat they will reschedule my surgery n I would have to do it all over again....there is no way I wanted to do that so I have not cheated one time but man has it been hard. Good luck n hang in there. If u need to alk message me or something. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Yes I would eat maybe an ounce at a time until u get it down. I haven't had surgery yet ( will b Friday) but the nutritionist said to add a tsp of skim milk n blend well to thin down n be easier to go down by port. Good luck. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Im still on my pre diet n so far I've lost 16.6 lbs. I'm super excited. I'm at 292 down from 308.6 Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

I am doing well on my liquid diet so far. I have lost about 16 lbs since the 3rd. I'm feeling like I need more to eat but for the most part I'm not hungry n I'm eating all I'm allowed to have. I really hate the Protein drinks, waiting on new ones to arrive. Getting nervous tho. Bloodwork Wednesday, weighing Thursday, n Friday is the big day! Wish me luck....

I too hate the shakes I got from dr. Im still pre op n I have ordered starter pack from unjury ( a lot of people have recommended them). Should get them tomorrow. My surgery is Friday hopefully I find some that I can tolerate before then! Good luck to all. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Congrats! You have definitely got something to b proud of. Keep up the good work! Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

I haven't had my surgery yet! May 18. Ive not been practicing but I have tried slowing my eating. After years of working where u get 20-30lunch n have to fit n a walk too u just learn to eat fast. It seems to b helping n I have never drank much liquid when I eat. I usually don't get anything until after, I'm still on my liquid diet so I haven't really had any practicing moments since may 3rd. Good luck n I'm sure u will do fine. Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Great advice. I get my surgery on may 18, does anyone know the recommended exercise plan after surgery? Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Have u talked to your surgeon about going on vacation? I ask about going to stay in cabin at Pigeon forge Tn and they told me not for at least 6 weeks. I had to reschedule mine, not sure your options but a cruise is different atmosphere so I would definitely ask them if u haven't about their suggestions! Good luck, be safe, n have fun!
