Hi..I had my surgery on July 18th as well. I find myself hungrier....well, I can eat more at a time right now. I moved myself onto tuna fish. It's a soft/mushy....and it's Protein. My body hasn't had any effects from any food. I'm not allowed any milk/sugar..so I can't do the carnation Breakfast. What other "concoctions" have you done? I'm supposed to be on a liquid diet for a month to help with the weight loss..but that gets hard and boring real quick..plus I was on a liquid diet 10 days prior to surgery. Hope everything is going well with you and you're feeling better. Are you still tender where the port is? Hope we can keep in touch! Take care!

Am I the only one who had to spend 3 wks on opti-fast & green veggies ? Black tea or coffee , but nothing else! {Did I fall off ? YES ! } Not terribly but now that I'm into my last week the guilt is beginning to get to me ! Sure hope I haven't screwed anything up!

Katiegirl, I am on day 5 of a 2-week, CLEAR liquid ONLY pre-op diet and it is for the birds! There are very few options and I am getting sick of them. I hate this taste in my mouth too, I want something to chew! I hate to complain, but around this time of the day, it starts to get on my nerves. Good luck to you!

I am having my lap band in 2 weeks and the doctor never put me on a liquid diet nor is he going to. I weigh 327 lbs now....does everyone go on a liquid diet before surgery?

No No I was on the yogurt cottage cheese one . It depends on your doc. I was told also by some that up until a few years ago, they didn't have a special diet at all. The though is for those that need it, that the special diet shrinks your liver to make the laproscopic surgery easier. Your doctor has met you and you have their instructions, so not to worry. Best wishes for your surgery and a speedy recovery.

Susoue, depends on the doctor, some of us had to do Optifast for a two or three week period, some had to do yogurt and cottage cheese. Not every doctor works the same.

Where are you been banded?.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
