I couldn’t help but reply. A friend of mine had lap band done at 15, and just recently had revision surgery for vsg at 23. The surgery was initially successful but she slowly gained all her weight back.

I live in New York and almost all of the surgeons on the team at Mt. Sinai (uptown) don’t perform the lapband due to low success rates

I have to keep my calorie intake at 900 calories. I can have up to 5 Protein Shakes a day, cream Soups, and for the first week I can have 1 salad (lettuce, celery, and cucumber) a day. It doesn’t sound so bad but I’m dying! I can’t drink coffee or black tea!! What’s yours like?

I’m on a 1000 calorie diet two Protein shakes per day and a small meal of 3-4oz of protein with salad or vegetables. I’m allowed to have two Snacks per day as well piece of fruit, cottage cheese, sugar free jell-o and yogurt.

Ugh! I’ve been loving coffee with my premier shakes lately, and I know I have to give it up soon. We were told to go on Decaf [emoji37]

My date is Feb. 1st!! It’s fast approaching and I’m nervous!

I’m January 30th and I’m starting my liquid diet today. My pre-op class is scheduled for tomorrow.

What are your instructions for liquid diet?

I’m scheduled for January 30th! Getting closer [emoji16] good luck everyone
