Morning all, hope your all well. so I'm now on day 6 of my 14 day pre op milk and yoghurt diet, i was doing so well until yeaterday. I had a friend over that doesn't know about my surgery and ended eating a couple of sandwiches and a small amount of chocolate. Back on it 100% today. Will that effect my liver shrinkage? I want and need this op so badly. Do you think ill be ok by next Thursday? Im in a panic! Thanks ladies.

I'm on day 2 of my preop diet. I get for Breakfast an 8oz Protein shake; for snack a fat free Jello or pudding; lunch is another Protein shake (these shakes are made with Water, no milk allowed on this preop diet) and some kind of powdered Soup (1cup) that is nothing but water and a chicken bullion then another snack of jello or pudding OR I can have a Protein Bar...dinner is again soup and a protein shake...add 64 oz of water a day and that's my life till this Friday at 8am. My concern is that I was supposed to do this preop diet for 10 days (some people only have to do 7 days depends on BMI) not the 6.5 days it's gonna be. I was called Friday afternoon and told my surgery is this coming Friday...not enough days for 10 days of liquids ... fearful it won't be enough...

On day 5 of liquid diet. 3 protein shakes a day and a protein bar for snack, plus water. Problem...my bowels haven't moved in since staring this diet and my stomach is starting to hurt. Was thinking of having some smooth move tea tonight. Anyone else in the same predicament?

I'm on day 3 and was realizing that mine haven't either! I was thinking of taking a pill tonight too!

I just noticed that yesterday I seem to be having the same problem....hmmmm is this a side affect of so much Protein or lack of "real" food...lol

Day 7 on all liquid diet and I am in full b@#%h mode.

Honestly, I know people that didn't even do the pre-op diet and I've even read where some doctor's don't even require it. I wasn't taking any chances though although I did eat the recommended grilled chicken and green salad twice during my 10 day pre-op diet

I'm on day 6 and doing okay, I've swayed a little but I'm still losing... I've been doing my best! It's hard as we all know!

^{I am on day 9 of this Protein shake and vegetable diet. I started to make a veggie medley in larger batches so I didn't have to cook this every single day(remember to calculate how many portions there are). Somehow, knowing that I just have to heat it up is keeping me on track.}

^{My body is wondering what I have done to it. I hope my liver is a happy camper, because my stomach is screaming where's the beef?}

^{Only 6 more sleeps until banding day.}

Haha mine too! My husband said we have steak in the freezer today I wanted to shoot him hahahaha my liver better be good too! I have 7 days to go!

I would love to have the veggie medley. My diet is three protein shakes a day. My stomach is screaming at the top of it's lungs, FEED ME. Like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors.

I went one step further. I pulled a steak out of the freezer (filet mignon, my favorite) and cooked it for my husband. then I tortured him and gave him a side of steamed plain peas and a slice of tomato. After the meal was over I did consider eating the plate that the steak was on. LOL

Morning all. I know it's soo hard to stick to it but it's worth it. I had my op ....guess it's yeaterday now! It's 4 am here. Been up every two hours need pain relief. Op went smoothly a liver was tiny. I even lost 16lbs on the pre op so I'm thrilled with that! Xx

My daughter had a friend who also had the lapband surgery. she used to take her kids for fries, and then lick the paper wrapper!

That is too funny but I can see why you would do that!

Today is my last day on the pre-op diet. I can't even stomach the thought of having a smoothie for breakfast. After drinking them for two weeks as my only meal, I'm done. I can't wait for tomorrow for my new chapter in my life or my new life, Titled, Living the skinny life.
