I am getting banded June 25 at 6:30 am. My first consult is June 17. I am not on any type of pre op diet. Since my BMI is 37, I qualified for the Fast Track program. Has anyone else gone thru this on a Fast Track program?

Hi Turner, I'm getting banded on the 25th also. I went through the "fast track program", but it took me 6 months. I'm also a bmi of 37 but the nutritionist asked me to do the 2 week pre op. I guess it all depends on your doctor. Best of luck with your surgery and keep in touch. :)

No ma'am. We were told if we were DYING, we could have broth or sugar free Jello.

My surgery is on June 13th. My bmi is 37. I had to do the Protein diet. I started Monday so this is day 5. The first 3 days I had my 2 shakes and one grilled chicken breast with steamed broccoli. Yesterday and today I have stuck to it and it has been a lot easier. I thing it's the initial detox. But feeling good now. As of this am I have lost 7 pounds. My doctor allows sugar free Popsicles, broth and even low fat Soups like cream of chicken. 24 hours before nothing but Clear Liquids. The hardest part has been the social aspect. It's Friday night and normally we would go out to eat but are staying in.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
