victoriously

They never really went into detail on the purpose of the diet. I thought it was just to help start the weight loss process, and to get me prepared to a new way of eating. My pre-op visit is tomorrow, I've actually been doing pretty well besides today and the salad yesterday, and I've been working out everyday. My surgery is not scheduled until Tuesday. So, I still have time to get back on the horse and finish strong. Wish me luck, and thank for the replies.

My doctor has me on the liquid diet, and it has been up and down for me. I had a small Caesar salad yesterday, and today a half of cup of Campbell's Gumbo soup. I also had a few of my daughters animal crackers. That was pretty much the extent of my whole meal for the day. Should I be worried about how well I will be able to do after my banding? Thanks for the help!

If you get hungry like that, you should be able to have a low sodium broth like chicken or beef broth. You can also have sugar free popsicles like fudge bars. At least I was told by my surgeon it was ok. Just think of the long term outcome you will gain by sticking to it. A healthier, happier, newer you!

I was put on a 2 week liquid diet? You only had to do the liquid diet for 3 days?

I started my pre-op diet today, and I am having a hard time. Any suggestions? Surgery date is April 23rd!

I'm scheduled for April 23rd also. I am soooo anxious and excited! Have you started your liquid diet yet? If so, how's it going. I must admit, I am struggling a bit.
