Haven't had surgery yet tomorrow is my day but on pre op diet my sister told me put Protein shake (I like the premier ready to drink) in freezer for awhile then put in a glass to get cold. When ready to drink comes out like a shake. Maybe that will help. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Mine was 10 days first 8 Protein drinks, broths and raw steamed veggies ( no starch) and plenty of Water. Last 2 days Protein Drinks, clear broths and water, water, water, but worth it. My surgery is tomorrow Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I am on day 10 it does get better, my surgery is tomorrow. Ever time I felt hungry I drank a bottle of Water or a glass of crystal light. Felt like I was sloshing when I walked but it did help with the hunger. Good luck you can do this Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I only told family a few close friends. At work just said having procedure and will be back in about 2 weeks. I am having revision to sleeve and if surgeon can't do all at once don't want to have to explain. Once I go back and start losing if someone asks I will be honest. No one but family knew I had the band. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Doing better but a little cranky. Start clear liquids tomorrow. Hunger not to bad today so far Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can relate, on day 7 of pre-op and yesterday was one of worst days with being cranky, last day of work, so much to do, but my team was amazing and tried to make it easier. Today will be a challenge my bbf's son's 16th birthday and I am doing all the cooking. She graciously told me not to do it, but her son is like mine so have to. Just remember the goal, that's what I keep telling myself and doing count down. Good luck with rest of pre-op Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon told me 1 week of pre-op to shrink liver. Guess she did not go to seminar. But I will do what it takes to get the surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

WTG! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My date is 27th. Starting liquid diet today. Hopefully headaches will be a minimum, started weening off caffeine 2 weeks ago. You can do this, drink lots of Water, that's what I have been doing for past 2 weeks and I truly believed it helped with my headaches. Dr did not say had to lose weight just wanted liver to shrink some. Good luck everyone Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
