July 24, 201313 yr Author I have no formal pre-op plan. I just can't gain wait before surgery. I actually put myself on my own plan starting yesterday (because surgery is two weeks away)... Been doing Protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch and having a protest rich dinner. Am hoping this will make the transition easier. I am ready to get this surgery done with already!
July 29, 201312 yr I am on clear liquid for 5 days. I started it on Saturday. They first day was the worst. I am doing good though. Three more days.
August 5, 201312 yr Best wishes, for the first day of your new life, tomorrow! My banding date is 19 Aug. I'm excited & a bit nervous. Sure a lot of people have felt that way. was supposed to begin my 2-wk pre=op diet tomorrow, but my daughter & family were here on vacation and I lost track of time on ordering my protein powder; ordered this past Fri. a.m. Hopefully, it'll be delivered no later than this Tuesday.
August 5, 201312 yr I just had my band surgery on Tuesday. My doctor just required a 1500 calorie diet before surgery. I'm on the liquid diet now...but I'm ready to move it forward to my soft food diet bc I have alot more options. Good luck to all!

August 8, 201312 yr Author How is it going???? Going well. Admittedly, I was much more sore and tired than I anticipated. Today is the first day of 'phase 2' of my post-op diet I will say, though, that I am amazed how much better I felt yesterday and today compared to Monday & Tuesday.
August 9, 201312 yr Author What does your post op diet consist of? I had surgery on Monday, so until this morning I was only in Clear liquids (broth, Water, crystal light, etc.) This mining I started phase 2: Protein shakes, ff Greek yogurt, cream of wheat, sf/ff pudding, sf/ff Jello.
