I will be having my surgery on Friday, May 27th and I was suppose to be on a low cal diet 500 cal. and two Protein shakes a day starting on the May 19th. Well, just started today. I can tell you lots of reasons why, but they are just excuses. My birthday, I left out of town to visit family, final exams, etc, but that is life right! I know, I am a bit nervous, but, if I can't even do a 500 cal. diet and Protein Shakes, how am I going to do with the lapband? Ugh! So, far so good today. no hunger pains yet....I start my clear liquid diet the day before surgery. Too scared to jump on scale and embarrassed to see I did not lose weight before preop. :-/

I will be having surgery at Cedars Sinai in West LA, CA. By Dr. Cunneen.

Nothing... some of us didn't even have pre-op diets.

That being said, you should always follow your surgeons rules, get started now, it should be fine.

Altho... he will be able to tell if you haven't lost any weight, all you can do is stick to it now.

Good luck!

Probably not the wisest move especially since your suppose to help skrink the liver with this diet. Be very strict the next few days and you should be fine! Good luck with the surgery!

my pre-op diet was just replacing one meal a day with a shake, for the week prior to surgery... honestly, i skipped doing it a couple of days early in the week but then got on the wagon 2 days before my complete fast (the 2 days before surgery i wasnt to eat anything at all, which i think is normal but who knows). you will be fine! but yes, it's all about shrinking that liver so you best be on top of it until then. good luck! :)

I actually started my pre-op 2 days late. Once i started it I did stick to it until the end! I lost 7 pounds and that was enough for my DR.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
