I found it much easier to transition into the Lap Band eating plan by starting about a week pre-op. My surgeon didn't require me to do the pre-op diet, but I wanted to get in the healthy eating habit and prepare myself for the liquid phase post-op, so I went to Protein drinks and Water during the day and a healthy salad at night.

When you say you're doing Protein drinks and Water, and not getting banded until October...you're not ONLY doing Protein Drinks and water are you?

Keep in mind every surgeon and nutritionist require different things, but my nutritionist suggested at our first meeting, a month before getting banded, that I start a high Protein, low calorie eating plan.

It's tempting to have you're "last meals" with junk food but really, I think it will make quitting those foods so much harder after surgery. Always check with your WLS team though and see what they recomment for pre-surgery eating.

I started A lowcarb/high protien/low fat diet about two weeks ago I just figured I need more time to get a skinny liver and more time to live a new way of eating. I think its a personal decision for each person but ive been losing 2lb per week and I have to go to a more stricter pre- op diet starting the 31st and I feel this is preparing me

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
