Hi, Deb, Im in Kennewick, Wa..Not far from you, at all!

So, Ive been reading..and it looks like all of us have different rules for the post-op diet, from our physicians. I have to be on a CLEAR liquid diet for 4 weeks, following my surgery. That includes 60g of Protein shakes a day. doesnt that seem a bit..strict to you? Thoughts?

You're not alone...My surgery is on wednesday and I have been sleeping, dreaming, drinking, *lap band*. It's all I can think about. Im nervous, too... Ill be praying for you, and your nerves...this is a new begining for all of us, i guess its natural to be freaking the frick out about it.

Glad everything went great! Reading this gave me hope for when I have my surgery on the 12th. Glad you are feeling good..

oh, and 150-Im from Washington state too!

Hi! Im a 30 year old, stay-at-home Mom with 3 kids. 7,2, and 3 months. My husband is very supportive. I havent always been so overweight, but since having kids, ive really packed on the lbs. We're very anxious and excited to see what this new year will bring.

Hi, Im from Washington State!

Wow, this was one long thread....Finally made it to the end! Im new here, and getting my surgery done on the 12th. That's right, just 3 days away. I've been on the 10 day liquid diet which has been super craptastic. Anywho, Just wanted to say "hi" and looking forward to my surgery and glad to find a place with some support.

Wow...your husbands taking off 5 days? How lucky! I have a 4 month old and a two year old, Ive been wondering how im going to take both of them in and out of the car. If you get any ideas, please share...im curious..

I havent been banded yet, But my Dr said that if you feel "Stuck" or uncomfortable, to drink something hot. Glad you found something that worked for you!

Hi, Im getting banded on December 11th. My Dr. has suggested I follow the clear liquid diet that Ive been on for the past 10 days, for about 4 weeks after the surgery. This is including the Protein shakes.... My question is..how do you get your protein in, (my dr wants 60g/day) from the shakes, if all you can drink is an ounce or two at a time? how do you get your shakes in when you cant drink as much?

:help:Hi, I am seriously struggling with the Prep-Op diet, so I came online for some support. It's only day 2 for me, and I have already cheated today. I had some olives in addition to my Protein shake and chicken broth. Dont these dr's know theres a reason why im fat in the first place? No willpower??
