5 lbs down since Tuesday. Added diet cream soda to the shakes and it was wonderful. I also pour everything over crushed ice. I follow every shake with 2 large glasses of crystal light. If you can't have carbonated drinks -- they probably want you to get used to doing it after the surgery, then make your soda flat. Take off the cap and drink it the next day.

Added diet cream soda to my shakes.. Wow--it tasted just like an egg cream. Try it. We only get diet soda until the banding. Those bubbles really help now. Started the liquid diet Tuesday by Friday I lost 5 pounds. Hope this keeps up.

There are so many medicines that you can't have a drink with. Zillions..go with that. I also know that there are medical tests that make you go on liquid diets also. I'm going for surgery on 5/4. Trying hard to stay busy. Good luck for the both of us. I have a fancy wedding on 5/2--That's 2 days before the surgery. I told them to give me anything to do during the wedding as I will not be eating. Can't wait for a year from now.

Wow. I started this day all gun-oh. Is that how you spell gun-oh? I weighed myself this morning (and boy I really didn't want to do it) and I actually looked around in case something was on me or on the scale because I've been eating each meal and snack as if it was my last and it showed on that scale. So I thought I really need this liquid diet. Anyway now it's 5:00. I had one shake and 4 more to go and I'm drinking crystal light like crazy because I don't to use them up.

I start this morning. Surgery is 5/4. Great answer.

Thank you for sharing. I'm having my surgery on 5/4. This post is just what the doctor ordered.

There are so many places to post here. I've posted on the q&a part as well. 5/4 I'll be banded at NYU with Dr. Kurian. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. Glad to start dieting and stop eating like a pig. Starting to not fit into anything.

My surgery is May 4 at NYC with Dr. Kurian. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. I've eaten like a pig and can barely fit in my clothes so I'm a little glad there will be an end to this last meal thing already. That said I'm not looking forward to this liquid diet. I've a fancy schmacy wedding on May 2 and I'll be drinking water and diet soda so that won't be fun. That said because I'll have been on the liquid diet I should be able to fit into a dress and not wear a sheet. I have been working out at the gym so that has been my one good thing that I've done.

Dr Kurian is my doctor. I start the liquid diet tomorrow and my surgery is scheduled for 5/4. I can have 5 shakes (they listed several suggestions). I chose muscle milk and glucerna because they were at Costco. I can have diet drinks and sugar free pops with a total cal. count of 30 cal. I also can have one can of chicken soup. On 5/2 I'm going to a very fancy wedding and I'll just be drinking water and diet coke. Too bad about that.

I'll be having Lap-band on this date. Nervous. Any tips.
