Has anyone started their pre op liquid diets? I start April 15th. Looking for good tasting Protein shakes with low carbs. The ones I've recently tried had around 23-29 carbs. Is that actually BAD or GOOD? ANewMe428

I'll be banded in 5 Days and my anxiety is in overdrive. I wakeup thinking about surgery, i keep watchin YouTube videos of the procedure. Then I begin to think... Hey you've lost 50lbs in 6months, do you REALLY need the band.... I already know the answer.. YES I DO. How can I ease my nerves & my mind to help me realize this is going to be the BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE....?

Thank u all. I made it thru my birthday. I drank a lot of water lol. Protein shakes. But I'm sorry... my mom bought a birthday cake for my party and I did have a slice :-( I've stuck to my pre op thus far. It was my birthday. I debated and decided I would eat it. & enjoyed it. Now tomorrow I'm back to all my pre ops guidelines.

Hi. I'm on my 5th day of a 3week liquid pre op. It has gotten easier as the the days progress. But its STILL a struggle. I have several events 2 attend before my band day and not being able to eat hurts. Yesterday was hard, my first outting on my preop... I was ready to go within an hour. So many food and beverage choices that I couldn't have. I just wanna stay in the bed til May 6th, my banding day. -

Im on day 3 of my preop liquid diet. I have a three week one :'( I've talkd to my dietician all day today because of concers of not getn enough calorie intake. I was only getn between 450-500 calories i was informed I should be at 1000 calories a day... today I did 600 & something. I dont see me being able to get 1000 calories off soups, water and 100 calorie protein shakes.
