OMG 5 day liquid diet and thats it?!!? I am so jealous of you right now! lol

When i get up in the morning im not going to go and hold it till last minute! haha not the best plan :-/ haha

OMG ill die if they put a catheter in me!

Ya same here... im so looking forward to the mushies! lol

Oh yikes! What a bad time to start... but like you said just stick with the things you are allowed and you should be fine. Might be a little bitchy.... but you will get threw it! What does your pre-op diet consist of?

The liquid diet isnt so bad! The first day sucked and Im more tired then usual, but I love to sleep anyways, so I use it as an excuse lol The only day im having a problem with it is today. My family is having a BBQ for mothers day and im kinda down in the dumps that I cant go eat. I keep telling myself a piece of chicken and little bit of salad cant ruin it too much, but I have oppted out of the BBQ and just had over there after dinner is threw.

I was told that I needed to lose during my supervised visit or I would be denied... every insurance is different though. What does a normal day of food look like? Maybe we could help if we knew what you were eating. Also, are you working out?

I had my last meal syndrome for about 3-4 days and gained 6 pounds! I was so mad at myself! I started my pre-op diet this past monday which consists of only liquids, Protein shakes, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, broth, low fat creamed Soups, and I am allowed to sometimes add some fruit, natural Peanut Butter, or nuts in my foods. I am suppose to stay under 50g of carbs and 800 cals. It hasnt been as bad as I thought, the first day was horrible! But now its just a part of my daily routine. I think tomorrow will be my real test! Going to a BBQ with family for Mothers Day. The good thing abut this diet that I have lost 11 pounds in 5 days!

I suggest you go threw someone that accepts insurance, its nuts if you pay for no reason!

This was about 4 months ago that I couldnt find them, and then I went to jewel the other day and looked again, no luck! We have dominicks which is part of safeway, maybe I will check there! If they are selling them, they cant be recalled anymore.

I started my pre-op the same day for the 17th surgery. I am in shock how easy the pre-op diet is too! I have read such horror stories about it and i feel like I am doing something wrong! I have lost 10 pounds since monday and thats nuts! Hoping to lose another 10 by surgery day!

My shakes have 30g Protein in them. Thats awesome, because if I have two I am at 60g already! Have you tried greek yogurt? The kind I eat is 17g or protein. Protein is vital but I was also told that the first 4 weeks after surgery are time to recover and heal and that I can lose weight for the rest of my life, I need to heal then.

I am obsessed with weighing myself. I do it at least 5 times a day. I need to stop!

I cant find the slim fast high protein low carb anywhere anymore! I google it and realized there was a recall on it, but I have heard some people are using it still. I liked the slim fast, and they were easy to bring around!

Congrats! Good Luck!

Awe :-( Just keep your head up! Dont give up, you will get banded!

I am very sleepy! I am on day 4. Down 9 pounds tho :-) I am so jealous you get to eat lean meat and green veggies! I take naps threw out the day.. I feel so unproductive! lol

Awesome! Im also on day 4 and having my surgery on the 17th. The first day was the hardest for me. After that it just seems normal to me. I guess I don't obsess over food as much as I thought I did. I am a little bit more tired then usually but I hope that goes away soon.. I have too much going on to be tired! haha. Cant wait to get banded and start this new life!

Kerri, Please keep your head up! Just start over,if you really need to eat try something that is healthy, it shouldnt hurt that much :-/ I dont have much advice to give you, I am not struggling at all on my pre-op diet but I feel like I prepared myself for this from the 3 month diet I needed to go on. Just remember what you are doing this for!!!!! It will all be worth it. Next time you want to eat like crazy go take a walk, or do something that will keep you busy. You will be fine! Good luck on your surgery!

I get banded on the 17th also. SO exciting!

Im on my third day. The first day was the worst.. today it didnt really faze me! Hope it goes well! Good luck

Well if they are selling them then they cant be on recall anymore... but i cant find them anymore since there was a recall :-(

I use to drink the slim fast carb control but there was a big recall on them not too long ago and they are nowhere to be found anymore. I tried the eas advantage ones too, they arent bad, maybe illl start having a few of those during the day. My Protein now is low in carbs but I like to mix it with milk which burns up my carb allowance. thanks for the advice.... now if i can figure out how to get rid of this headache!

I have the worst headache ever!!! I never really drank caffeine soo it cant be that. The past few hours have been really bad for me :-(... I tried chewing my broth today.

I use Platinum HydroWhey. It taste good! Right now im starving, and this is not head hunger , this is real hunger! haha Im going to eat some broth... but I really dont think that will help. haha
