That is fabulous!!!! Great Job!! Yes, do share what a typical day of eating would be for you.

My preop protein drink is a Carnation Sugarfree instant breakfast, chocolate mixed with skim milk. Thank goodness this is an option for me because I COULD NOT drink the other protein drinks. If this is an option for you I suggest you try them.

I think the first step is that you recognize your love affair with food. Understandably in your job you would need to taste, but try to be disciplined for the pre-op diet, then remember, it is not that we will never be able to eat again, or taste again. This procedure is a tool to help us recognize and limit our intake. You will just need to account for your test tasting!! Hang in there.... it is a struggle...I am on 3rd day of my preop diet, I am scheduled to be banded November 5th!!!!!! Good Luck!

Congrats!!! It is a new beginning!! I am banded November 5th... on my second day of pre-op diet and so far so good!!!! Keep us updated!

Please keep us updated!!! I'm banded on 11/05/2012 and am ready for my new beginning. Can't wait to tuck my t-shirt in to my jeans!!!!!

Thank you!!!! I am feeling very confident about this!! Hope my procedure and recovery is smooth!

My preop diet consists of the following:2 Sugar Free Carnation Instant Breakfast with Skim Milk 2 1/2 cups of steamed veggies 2 fruits As needed for hunger: chicken broth, sugar free jello or pudding, sugar free popcicles

Can you have sugar free vanilla pudding? Not as exciting as cake but at least you can have that while others are also eating.

Great Job!!!

Start preop diet tomorrow, banded on November 5th!!! I am very excited!! I am so glad I found this forum for support. It is nice to have others who are experiencing the same thing!

Thank you for the inspirtation!

I wish I could have oatmeal on my preop diet... I know it will be hard but soooo worth it in the long run!! You are doing good so far! I am banded on November 5th!

I have ordered the unjury protein powder to try, I start preop diet on the 22nd. I'm hoping the "unflavored" can be mixed with iced tea or lemonaid.. I will let you know as soon as I try it.

I start my preop diet on the 22nd... I know each doctor is different, what is some of your preop diets like? I can have 2 1/2 cups of steamed veggies... 2 fruits... 2 protein shakes... 2 8 oz glasses of skim milk... I see some can have chicken broth or tomatoe soup....

Hi, I start my preop diet on the 22nd... what does yours consist of?
