Drink Protein shakes ! Even if its 2-3 ounces its better than nothing ! Make sure you take all your vitamins too !

I was finally banded on June 15 2009 , I thought the first few weeks after surgery were gonna be a breeze I was wrong ! The 2 week liquid diet before hand was rough, but I got through it by mixing 4oz of chocolate ovaltine with 4 oz of liquid protein meals. 3 to 4 times a day. I had to continue the same regimen when coming home. The surgery itself was a breeze to me after having a c section almost 3 years ago this was like a paper cut ! I am just now moving on to puree food, pudding, mashed potatoes. I have felt no restriction yet ! I went to see my doctor yesterday and he sid he will adjust band in 1 month to tighten more if I do not consistantly loose more weight. I have lost 22lbs on liquid diet but only 6 pounds since surgery. Dr. said not to worry, its common for your body to adjust to liquid diet.I am hanging in there ! I am in this for the long haul !

Hi everyone I am a new member here and I am in the last few days before surgery. It has been a long hard road (7 months) to get here. As of today I have 9 days to go and I can't wait ! But this diet is killing me. I am having a real hard time with my will power. I have NOT given in ! But have been come too close. Please let me know I am not alone !:blushing:

This should not delay your surgery just take the vitamin D as directed. I have the same problem ! My surgery is scheduled for JUNE 15.2009 I can't wait !

I find Carnation instant Breakfast to be the best tasting and its not as chalky as the rest.It comes in 5 flavors too !:blushing:
