Okay so I am at the point where I have had my consult and am approved through insurance. My surgeon didn't go over the liquid diet with me. Can you all please elaborate on what is entailed? No food at all? Just protein shakes? I can imagine that I would lose a ton of weight just from this liquid diet. Please explain. I'm starting to get anxious about this liquid diet. Would if I cheat?

Hey thanks! Good luck with your fill. Wish I was at your stage.

Wow thanks! I'm hoping mind goes as smoothly as yours! Some of these people have such a long recovery. I have a high pain tolerance so we shall see. Looking forward to losing weight. The pain will be worth it!

Okay this makes sense. Now why does everyone talk so much about walking. Is this to help with the gas people are talking about? Thanks!

Hello everyone so happy to be a member of this community. I just had my consult yesterday and will be getting the band soon. I guess I'm wondering if you started losing weight before the 1st fill of your band. I'm guessing after surgery you are on liquids. I don't have all of the info yet. Just curious how soon I can expect to lose after the surgery? Just excited for the losing to begin.
