Just got scheduled for May 18. I start the diet this Friday. I'm excited. Who else is getting banded in May??

My big day is set for May 25th. I start my liquid diet this Thursday. Wishing you the Best!!!

1. My surgery date is scheduled for May 16th. My pre-op visit will be on May 9th...the nurse informed me to just start skipping a meal or two a day...
   

Mine is set for May 29th, and I will be starting my liquid diet in one week. So how is the liquid diet going so far?

I start my liquid diet this Thursday. However, I have decided to begin drinking a protein shake for breakfast and a meal replacemnt shake for lunch. I didn't want to go into "Shock" on Thursday.... OMG it's Teacher Appreciation Week.... Pizza in the lounge.... God give me the Strength....Cookies too!!!!

Me me me, I'm May 18! I'm excited, I'm on the Pre op. I've been drinking premier Protein shakes , fage plain 0 fat Greek yogurt with low sugar strawberry preserve. Drinking v8 light fusion and crystal light . My treat is sf Popsicles. What have you had on your Pre op?

Diet is ok. I'm grumpy probably because my "drug" of choice is gone. I've been drinking sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast, nectar Protein shakes, and Ideal Protein Shakes(my Mom works at Ideal Weigh, a weight loss center and they have their own protein products). I "cheat" with veggie Soup broth (try to leave the chunks behind). I start Clear liquids tomorrow...should be interesting.

Good luck and prayers to all of you.

Me too! So excited, we only have a few more days. I'm so anxious it feels like time has slowed down.

My surgery is June 6 and I start my liquid diet next week. Please Please offer me any suggestions. I have tried to start by drinking a protein shake for breakfast and eating a low calories small lunch, but next comes just liquids. Give me strength!!! Good luck every one!!!

Not sure which one you will b on but I was allowed to have 1-2 shakes a day ( which I didn't drink cause they were really bad) I was allowed 2 cups of fesh fruit a day, up to 3 sf fudgecicles, I was allows 1 cup skim milk, yogurt, or 1/2 cup cottage cheese( variation of all 3 or some three times a day. I usually did 2-3 servings of Lf yogurt), the next items I can have all I want broth any variety ( usually used the broth that comes with ramen noodles) diet an apple, unsweetened tea or coffee no cream, sf kool aide, crystal light, diet pop, propel or other non calorie or very low calorie waster type drinks. I am allowed to use sweet n low for sweetener in tea or coffee.

Don't know if this will help but I also was allowed sf Popsicles any amount. If I got hungry I would grab a Popsicle n go for small walk. It suppresses hunger. I've lost almost 19 lbs n I have couple days left.
