I have a 2 week pre op diet of low carbs, low fat & sugar. It's hard but I'm sticking to it. As hard as it is for me, I Realllly feel for those of you that are on all liquid...kudos! Who of use here are doing which preop diet?.

Im going to Tijuana and my surgery is on the 13th. Im only requierd to do 3 days of pre op loquid but im trying to start now and having a very hard time. Any suggestion how to just keep drinking liquid when ur hungrey and feel like you need to eat.?

I'm on a low carb pre-op diet and my date is 03/14/2013.... I check in the hospital in Juarez Mexico on 03/13/2013. I was super excited, but now I am super nervous and excited!!!!! I will update on the same or next day after surgery:)

My day is March 19... less then two Weeks!!! Day 4 of liquid preop diet and this is hard. I drink a different protein shake a day to see which one I like the best. So far its muscle milk chocolate and vanilla (mixed with 2 oz. of decaf coffee ...hope this one is ok!!!

Also how long is everyone taking off from work. I'm taking off Tues until Monday, less then a week but all I do is sit at a desk ALL DAY!!!

hi Ashley- I feel for you. I can eat low carb low fat preop (doing it now) and because I'm a fatty I'm having a hard time not doubling up those meals...BUT, I'm doing it and you can too....Drink water till your floating. How about a protein shake they are thicker? It's only three days, you can do it girl!! Keep us updated

Hello shannflo- I have the same date as you and preop dieting too (not liquids though) I used isopure low carb Dutch chocolate w/ skim milk after my lapband (I had the band 7 yrs till it slipped) that's what I'm thinking of using postoperative too. Let us know what protein shake you end up liking. I'm more into finding a protein shake that's like drinking chocolate milk.

I'm a stay at home mom/ wife but I've been reading people taking off at least a week but would have been happier if they did 2 weeks.

March 13

My surgery is scheduled for March 13. I still haven't heard from Aetna about being approved. I am soooooo nervous. Idk if I am nervous for surgery or scared to hear a no. I am going crazy. I have called Aetna twice and get put in hold and Dr hasn't called me back yet! I am freakin out!!!
