Well I have started my pre-op diet. My surgeon restricts us to 30 gm carbs. So we don't have to do just liquids. So far am very hungary. But my problem with past diets wasn't that I couldn't follow them' date=' I just couldn't follow them long enough. Even after I lost 70 lbs I couldn't stop myself from gaining it back to 10.

That's the same pre op diet I have, except he prefers you drink two Protein Shakes a day and then one small meal. What have you been eating? I know hungry is hard, but it's only one week til surgery and then just think of the rewards we will reap! Skinny in 2013 here we come! Btw, I'm getting banded next Thursday too

Im from Chicago. Getting banded on Monday. Im on 10 day liquid diet and sooo sick of it! I know how and can eat healthy. I just really hope this helps me feel like im not starving all day. I also feel like it doesnt work only for those who dont eat right after. I am 5'11 and just 2 months ago i was 413 lbs. Now im 384. Everyone says i should just not get surgery n keep going since im doing good but i feel if i couldnt lose it in 27 yrs this time is no different. I need that help and motivation and im not about to wait n then next thing u know my insurance doesnt cover it!! So dec. 3rd it is!!

Dec.7 is my surgery date.Really excited.

[destiny20156 4]

Yes we do! I guess my bmi is right where they want it for surgery so they said 10 is ok. They wanted me to lose 20 lbs and i did it in 3 weeks. Im motivated lol they can tell! The diet is supossed to be up to 6 shakes a day. Jello, chicken broth, sugar free popsicles and lots of Water but my diet is pretty much jello n water. When i feel so hungry i wanna throw up i drink a shake. Im scared to have anything or gain any weight. They said if i do they will reschedule surgery!! This is the craziest thing ever but i know nobody better tell me i took the easy way out im working my butt off! By the way im Gina! Praying for all of our success!!!

So I am scheduled Dec 7 and I am super excited! My pre op diet was to begin 11/23/12...but I'm a lil tapped out on funds lately with all my medical visits. My surgeon wants me on the shakes he sells in office but is there an alternative shake I can buy over the counter? Any thoughts?
