Hi, I was banded on the Wednesday the 7th. I have been feeling dizzy or lightheaded the last two days. Has that happened to anyone else? I plan on calling the drs. office tomorrow.

My dr. requires 4 weeks of pre-opt diet. The first week you can have Breakfast that consists of Baritrx Essentials, a fruit for both your morning and afternoon snack, Lean Cuisine under 300 calories for lunch and dinner, and Baritrx Essentials shake for the evening snack. The second week you replace lunch with the Baritrx Essentails shake and approved vegetables with no dressings for lunch. The last two weeks is all shakes for Snacks, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Again you can have approved vegetables with no dressings for lunch and dinner.. I am having a hard time on the last two weeks. I am on day 4 and hate the shakes.:huh2: My dr. requires this from everyone. If your BMI is over 50 then you have to do the total liquid diet for a month.

My doctor requires you to lose 10% of your excess weight. Four weeks before the surgery you can 1 Bariatrx Essential shake for breakfast, 2 meals of lean cuisine (anything under 300 calories), limited amount of fruit for snacks and another shake for evening snack. Week three is minus one of the lean cuisines and the last two weeks nothing solid except vegtables. It SUCKS! I am on week 3 before the surgery.:purplebananna:

I am on my second week of shakes and one meal of lean cuisines. My doctor has me drinking Bariatrx Essential protein shakes. Next Wednesday I start on the two week all shakes diet. Not looking forward to it. It is really rough.:tongue:
