Hey everyone! This is my first post (although I've been reading all of ya'lls for serious support!) and Im scheduled to be banded on June 18. Im at a week of my 2 week liquid Pre-op diet. It's been an emotional roller coaster! Just wanted to post and say "hi" and Im definitely going to be a frequent visitor!! Im so inspired by everyone's journeys. :-)

Good Luck! I am the 21st.

Hang in there you got this!

I had the liquid diet as well. It was pure hell!

The first week was horrible. I kind of adapted after that a bit. Ate tons of Jello (this was the only solid I was allowed) and drank gallons of crystal light. Also slept a lot to help pass time.

It's worth it though. You'll be glad when you wake up from surgery knowing you did everything you could do to make things a success.

Welcome! pre-op diets are tough but VERY worth it! Sounds like you are doing great! Post often with any questions that you might have. I won't be able to answer any but the vets on here can

Hi. Good luck. I'm 1 week post op and still an emotional roller coaster but I'm already seeing results which makes it all worth it. Like any change, we need to be patient and give ourselves time to adjust.

Thank you everyone SO much for the support! I can't tell you how much it helps. Woke up this morning to my fiance singing a rocking rendition to "Living on a Prayer" with the specific lyrics of "ohhhh you're halfway there, ohhhh living on a prayer"...he's notorious for adapting songs. It was hilarious. I've always been super independent, so asking for support is difficult for me, but I know it's what's necessary! I got on the scale this morning and after one week of this liquid deal I've lost 10 lbs.! I'm so deeply inspired by everyone's courage. Thank you!!!!!

welcome :-)

you will do great.. im 10 days after surgery! and everything I have done so far has been worth it!

good luck!

That is too funny!!! Wow, talk about supportive. Sounds like a great guy!

The liquid diet can be crazy, but it's worth it. I had a lot of jell-o and Crystal light. I walked as much as my body would let me, slept when I could, and picked up crafts when I needed to keep myself busy. I love to knit, so I got a lot done on those projects during my liquid diet phase.
