I am required to be on a clear liquid diet the day of my fill. Is this common practice? I also have to do a liquid diet (not clear)the day after and then a soft food diet on the third day before returning to regular foods on the fourth day. I'm curious to know if this is just my Doctors preference or do most doctors require this diet?

My surgery is on April 15th. I would love to have a buddy to talk to about this experience!:thumbdown:

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I woke up this morning feeling a little more confident about all this then I did yesterday. I am sure I will have my ups and downs, but the way I feel this morning, I know I can do this! Cue the Rocky theme!!

I am suppose to do two shakes and the a lite dinner of meat and veggies. Did you snack? Veggies? Almonds? I'm afraid by the time I get to eat dinner I am going to eat too much if I am too hungry. Gosh, I have no will power and it is frustrating at this stage. I am getting really worried that I am going to screw it all up once I do get the band. I have wanted this for so long and now I can't even seem to be comfortable with the before stage. I really thought I was in the right mindset for this. The good thing is I haven't cheated...bad thing is it only been 2 days. I'm so whiny!! LOL

I feel like such a weenie! This is only the second day and I am feeling it....I'm hungry! I hope I am one of the people that it gets better the 3rd or 4th day! :thumbup:

What would you suggest snacking on when on the pre-op diet?
