Hi Ladies,

What's on your Pre-op Diet. Mine doesn't sound as bad as most I've seen.

start 2 weeks before surgery

1. 4 Protein shakes with 8 ozs. 1% Milk

2. 1 meal consisting of 4 ozs. lean protein and veggies

3. 2 servings of fruit

+ 64 ozs. or more of calorie free fluids

I haven't received my day before directions yet.

Some I've seen are just shakes or worse clear liquids?

Scheduled my surgery today for June 10th! Very excited and scared at the same time.

Mine is 4 weeks of:

Hi protein low carbs shakes with 6 oz Water for Breakfast and lnch

4-6 oz protein and a green leafy vegetable for dinner

64 oz of water per day

The first week I totally biffed it!! but now i've buckled down and got serious. I know i've got hunger induced delirium though. I've been thinking about cupcakes for 3 days, and i dont even like cake. Yesterday I saw a peppermint patty commercial and it was the most glorious thing i've ever seen. The grocery store by my house just put out these single serving seafood packs. 4 oz of salmon, or tilapia, or scallops, etc for $1 each. I bought enough to get me through the whole pre-op stage. they're so convenient.

My diet is a 10 day diet:

Days 1 - 7:

Breakfast

Protein Meal Replacement shake

Mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and bedtime snack

Protein Bar or drink

lunch and dinner

half of a protein meal replacement shake

2 - 4 ounces lean meat

1/2 cup non-starchy vegetable or 1 cup salad with low-fat dressing.

And of course 64 ounces of de-caf, sugar-free liquid.

Days 8 - 10:

Liquids

KBertinelli,

You are so close, 1 week to go. We are all afraid we can't do it but, we Are going to make it work this

time:thumbup:!! Once banded you won't feel hungry all the time. I had my gallbladder out 3/31/10. I felt awful for 4 days and then it got better. Yup, 2 surgeries in

two and half months. Not my idea of fun but, had to be done. I'll be right behind you June 16th!!

Good Luck,:smile2:

Carol D'

ashley2369,

I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time:sad:.

If it's really bad call the doctors office. What is your pre-op diet. Hang in there!! You'll be in my prayers.

I cant believe i am 3.5 weeks away! of course i have a mix of emotions, but i'm ready!! My pre-op diet is 10 days, just low carb and high protein!! we can do this!

Found out yesterday that my insurance appeal was approved and I'm scheduled for June 14th.....I'm so excited!!!!!:smile2:

I, too, am a June Bandster. My date is June 15th. I am a mixture of several emotions right now, but it all leads back to excitement and joy that I am able to take a step toward finally being healthy again. Congrats to all the other June Band members out there.

Hi Jessica & Bosslady,

We are the 14th, 15th and 16th:lol:!!! How cool is that?
