So far, I'm all set for June 25th. Started my Pre-Op diet yesterday. Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch, then for dinner, 6-8oz. chicken or fish, 1 cup of greens, 1 cup of fruit. First day was ok, but I couldn't get home fast enough to get that fish in the skillet! I'm so glad that last Saturday's fishing trip with my Dad went so well. We each came home with 10 Speckled Trout, so I'm stocked up with plenty of fresh fish.

Anyone else getting banded on the 25th?

Cheers,

David

Hey David. I'm Erica. Getting banded on the 26th. My pre op diet is water and protein drinks. I can have sugar free jello or broth if I'm just dying and have to have something. I started a day early in my diet because of a root canal. I'm not hungry but my family is eating and my brain says I should be too! Right now I'm having a lot of emotions. Kinda sad, but I keep telling myself it will all be worth it soon! We can be band buddies.

I get banded the 24th . But I'm not required to do a per op diet.

I also get banded on the 25th. No pre op diet required. I should have asked why but I think I was too happy. In a way though, I would have probably lost a few pounds and not quitting everything cold turkey.

June 25 is my day, too. No pre op diet. I'm on a Fast Track program since my BMI is 37. I'm just seeing the doc for the first time tomorrow.

I need a band buddy to i was banded june 25 and 29 lbs down but i am starving

Hi, I was also banded on the 25th. 29 pounds is incredible. I'm sorry you are hungry. I imagine your first full will be soon and also that you are getting enough protein and not mixing liquid with food?

Sure we can be buddies. I was allowed to eat mushies the next day. I've lost 8 since surgery. Total of 28 pounds down though since my initial consult to my 2 week post op visit. When do you get to eat.?

Just checking in here to see how everyone is doing. I've been moved to regular food now. I've lost 23 lbs total and do far so good.

I also had surgery on June 25th. Friend request me. It's nice to have others in the same boat as I am in.

How's everybody doing? I'm revisiting the Boards for some added inspiration.
