Hi Heather, thanks for the post. Where do you buy your EAS shakes from? Is this for your pre-op diet? Thanks, Marcus

My pre-op diet looks like the Atkins diet - no carb/low carb - for 1 week before suregery. After surgery looks like a progression from clear to "full liquids" over the course of to 2 weeks. It is all still pretty gray for me ....still looking for clarity. Has anyone journaled their lives before during and after - including what they consumed? Would be interested to read that.

Hi, I will be starting my preop diet soon. You mentioned the protein drink (low carb) ...any specific brands you found to be good or bad? thanks.

Thanks for the welcome and the link. I am in the Springs....so not far at all. How are you adjusting? What are your greatest struggles?

Hi Tammy, I am new too. My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 25th. I am so ready! I am nervous about the pre and post op diets. I have heard the post op diet is a hard time to get through....but I know it can be done.

Look forward to joining you in BANDLAND on November 25th, 2008! Dr. K in Aurora!

Hi Everyone. My name is Marcus and after many years of talking about it I am finally scheduled to have my lapband on November 25th by Dr. Kirshenbaum in Aurora!
