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 everyone I'm scheduled for June 20 I'm very excited and nervous Im on the liquid diet today is my 5th day and I have to confess is the hardest thing I have done in my life hope everything goes fine

My surgery date is June 19 I can have up to 5 protein shakes a day and broth, jello basically clear liquids. I'm getting pretty nervous now. Actually REALLY nervous.

No, I am fairly new to the forum and getting banded on June 18th, which happens to be my birthday. I'm nervous and was afraid that I would not be able to do this pre-op died but so far I have been doing okay and sticking to it....Robin

My surgery is June 25th and like some of the other people on here I am not allowed many choices. I have to be on liquids for 10 days. The diet consist of water, broth, and 3 servings of diary daily. I can have sugar free gelatin, popsicles.

I'm June 26! We can be buddies!!! Oh... I have a 2 week diet. Water and EAS Protein drinks. That's all... BLAH

Don't cheat because GW will know if you did! I used to sit up in the ICU waiting room and drink my shakes, away from the cafeteria and food! I told GW that two week diet shows you what you're dr of! I dropped 20 pounds on it!

Hi everyone. 4 days post oo and not feeling to well. How is everyone else?

I am also 4 days post opp. Trying gentle walking and tasks and still taking pain meds for soreness. A little confused about clear liquid. If we are supposed to sip sip sip water are we stretch stretch stretching the pouch? So glad to be in this side if process.

Not sure how it works, but I know my doctors instructions are sipping 2 ounces every 15 min.

Dear Suzanne, that helps a lot. My Dic talked about remembering a sip or two of water at each commercial break, which is essentially the same. Thank you for your reply. I actually slept in bed last night versus the recliner. Again, progress ???¸
