I'm having my surgery at True Results in Houston. Dr. Hollis is my surgeon and I'm ready to start the process. I hope to make some friends and learn more about life after the lap band.

Good to make contact. Have you started preop diet?

I started my preop diet on Tuesday. I seems like it has been harder every day but I am just trying to remember what I am doing this for. That seems to help.

What are you allowed to eat?

2 shakes per day. Sf jello, pudding and Popsicles. One meal with 8oz fish or chicken with 1C green vegetables and 1C fruit.

I'm Oct. 2nd too. My diet consists of 4 protein shakes a day, 2-3 sugar free popsicles a day, and all the sugar free jello and water I want. It's been 11 days, and I think it's gotten a lot easier. I'm starting to get a little nervous about surgery though. xP

I'm tomorrow Oct 1st, I started my Pre-Op diet on Sept 17th which consisted of 1/2C oatmeal and light yogurt for breakfast, lean shake and pudding cup or applesauce for lunch and dinner. To cut hunger I can eat SF Jello, Popsicles, and chicken broth. It is now 4pm and I can only have clear liquids and nothing after midnight tonight. Surprisingly I am not hungry.
