I am looking for others that will be banded about the same time I am. My day is set for June 8, 2012. I am on protein shakes and salad for three weeks, two weeks to go.

hi angie, i am being banded on the 6th. just a couple days before you. i am on day 7 of my all liquid diet. so far so good. how are you?

I am nervous. Other than that doing well.

dont be nervous. it will come and then its over just as quick. i told hub i will have a new birthdate. when did you start your pre-op liquids?

I started May 4, 2012

I wonder why some patients can have liquids and other foods such as salads during their pre op diet. My nutritionist told me I could only have the "protein shakes." I don't think my weight was that much of an issue to restrict me to only Protein shakes. 5"6. 254 BMI 39. I want a salad too!!! Maybe I should give them a call.

Can you see why I need the Lapband? No control.

i know right........i am baffled at some of the liquid diets but some are not all liquids. that bites but i guess all doctors are different. i am so hoping my liver diet has worked as i have not cheated and am very proud of that. no control. that be me also

I am scheduled for June 1st and I am on my 12th day of the liquid diet. Good luck to you!

I'm being banded 6/4/2012 at 7:30am. I'm on a liver reduction diet and have lost 5 lbs in a weeks time. It's not so bad!

my date of surgery is June 20th and I start all liquids next week. I'm really nervous about starting all liquids, I mean, I'm a grazer, I tend to snack at night while watching TV whether I'm hungry or not, yes that is why I'm overweight I guess huh? No control! Wish I could have a salad with my shakes...

Why are you all on liquid diets before you get your band fitted??? We only had to fast from night before!!!! I'm down 6 stone and my husband is down 9 stone.

I wonder what the difference is as well. I am 5'4 and currently 314 pounds. I don't have high blood pressure, diabitis,etc. I also stay farely active. I am guessing that is why I get to salad with a little meat once day. I have done the liquid diet in the past for about four months. I lost a ton of wieght, but once I started adding foods back in I never lost anymore wieght. My weekness's are carbs, mostly Reeces and Doritoes. The thought of not drinking diet dr pepper anymore is terrifing.

One week to go!
