Hi everyone.New Jersey here.

I'm mostly new here but find so much good stuff in the posts. Im having surgery, sleeve, on Tuesday, Sept. 26. Must admit I'm both excited and nervous. I have been on a one week pre-surg diet...basically 3 Protein Drinks, 74oz Water, and 6-8 each day of yougurt, unsweetened applesauce, chicken, v8 juice. So been doing great with the diet.....not hungry, but sure don't feel like I've lost yet. lol . So good luck to my fellow September peeps. Can't wait for Tuesday to be over. Keep you posted. Thanks!!!

I notice the pre op diet varies from person to person. Do your starting weight determine your pre op diet?

My starting weight before my pre op diet was 283. I'm on my second week now and I'm down 10 pounds.

My daily pre op diet consist of 2-3 Protein Shakes, 4-6 ounces of lean meat or fish with veggies, and 64 ounces of Water.

The pre-op diet does seem to vary quite a bit. I don't know what it is based on or is it just the doctors preference? I was 243 on weds. Started the diet 2 days early on Sunday so I don't really know. Now my chicken was to be 3 ounce. When is your surgery?

You got this. Just know. The road to perdition is bumpy. Remain committed to yourself and your supports (online and live supports groups, friends and family, etc). Stay n touch.

I see you're getting or got the lap band, you should know my wife lost over hundred pounds on the lap band ( 5 years ago) and has had no complications with it, my wife is a big fan of it, and so am I, good luck on your continued journey
