i am on day 8 of my two week diet. i can have two Protein Shakes and one serving of Soup. but i can supplement with cottage cheese, Jello, pudding. going ok but i am hungry.

They have added a forum for us - let's post here... So we can share with the new people....

that is great. i get banded nov 8. nice to see girls our age. so many questions but excitement overload.

2 Protein Shakes and one Soup. can supplement with cottage cheese, Jello, pudding.. all sugar and fat free...i am on day three and it is going ok...

well i started my preop diet on sat 10-23. it is going ok. so far so good. surgery is 11-8. more excited each day.

I am in my second week of al all liquid pre-op diet. The only things I can have is Carnation Instant Breakfast 3x's daily with Skim Milk, broth, SF Jello, pudding, Crystal Light and flavored waters. I can have a can of Tomato Soup or yogurt once a day. It has been the most difficult experience of my life. I am completely motivated and determined to make this work. I have been overweight all my life. Only in my dreams have I been skinny and healthy. Only I can make this dream come true.

My advice to anyone who is struggling....stay motivated. Read these blogs, go onto youtube and see the results from others who have had the lapband (their stories are inspiring) and tell yourself that it is all worth it!

Good Luck to everyone!

thanks for the advise. i start my two week diet next weekend. i am scared, excited, all the words you use to describe terrified. one day at a time .right? good luck to you

my daughter is pregnant with lap band. she is going to a ob doc that also was banded. doc is watching her and if a problem with gaining weight she just takes out her fill. she is doing well 4month pregnant. good luck. ask your band doc to recomend a ob gyn that has worked with banded patients.

i am local to that area. i hear there are great docs to do the procedure. i think that takes some of the fear away for me. i am afraid but i am more afraid of not getting it done. i know i am only bidding my time until my health goes seriously down hill. i feel like it is a choice i have to make. good luck

my day is nov 8, am excited, nervous, and so ready. my preopp appt is oct 22. then i start the two week liquid diet.
