I start my preop diet today. Clear liquids if I get hungry I can have up to 2 protein drinks. I am on this for ten day. Wish me luck. I have never been this long without food.

I am from Tennessee. Where do you live when are you having the surgery. I live in the Northeast and having mine in Johnson City.

I am worried. I start my preop diet the 12th. It is clear liquids only. If I am really hunger or weak I can have a Adkins shake. I do that for ten days.

I am getting banded Aug 22nd. Can't wait. Doing out patient so hope I will post my experience soon.

Thanks so much. I needed to hear this. I am 46 almost 47 and my weight is starting to effect my health and general well being. I have to do something this seem like the right chose I just need that reassurance that I am not the only one out there that have eating habits. I am very excited but scared too afraid this will fail like all the diets I have tried. Thanks for the support I am sure I will be writing more with this venture.

I am having my first consult June 9. I eat when I am not hungry and eat fast. One of the main reasons I am 100lb over weight. How does getting the band help you from not eating when you are full or eating so fast . I am afraid that I will continue with my old habits and not lose. This is such a drastic step for me to take and will be devastated if it does not work. Thanks
