Losing weight is my struggle I'll lose 10-15 lbs and gain it back...Anyways I was wanting someone/anyone BEFORE THE PRE OP DIET to go on a diet with me if you can I know not everyone can because ...I understand...Anyways I am TRING to lose 15 lbs and KEEP it Off or whatever anyone else want to lose 15lbs or close to it I have at least 21 days until I go for my evaluation then plus some so say a month if possible....I walked 3 mile yesterday but I am off the rest of the week and won't before the PREOP Diet maybe 15 lbs thats it...I Might not make it but at least I'll get my body in shape (my muscles in shape) for the preop and surgery I usually do plan on walking 3 miles a day... 3 miles when I can its NOT everyday right now its not everyday but after surgery it will be everday...and 50 sit ups...

I'm not a pre op patient but I just wanted to congratulate you on your decision to get banded and wish you good luck on your journey.

My doctor did'nt really have a preop diet but I made up my own. For several months pre surgery I did Protein shakes (whey Isolate Protein powerder, made with fat free milk. Look on this site for recipes there are lots) two meals a day and a small chicken based lunch. My journey to surgery was slower than many but I lost over 50 pounds between 12/2009 and 8/2010 the time from my consult to surgery.

Sure doing liquids prior to the official liquid diet (if your doctor has one) may sound like a drag. There were people in my presurgery eating class that did a 500 calorie a day liquid diet for 3 months. I tried it for 1 week and after loosing no weight and exercising daily decided to go back to my own diet.

I had veery good results doing a low carb diet we had to do. I started early and ended up being on it 3 weeks...lost 24 lbs

I lost 5 pounds in one month by just not eating fast foods.

Manda 87 amen to that. Couple years ago my office was moved from one end of the building to the other. And by building I mean 3 enormous factories that were connected to make one collosal building. I sat as far away from the cafe as you could get. After that move I started buying a breakfast sandwich at Dunkin Donuts every day; which was also pretty expensive. I started buying low fat breakfast sandiches by weight watchers and lost probably 10 pounds from that alone.
