Anyone having surgery in May? Im trying to get my surgery scheduled for May 1st

It's official my surgery id scheduled for Friday May 2. I go on my pre-op diet April 17. Thiings are going in the right direction finally!

I should be able to be banded in or around June... what is the pre op diet?

My doctor doesn't talk much about" what's to come"... he's a more" in the moment" kind.

I haven t got the pre-op diet, they are mailing it to me today. My co-workers said it is liquids like broth. Each dr is different! Good luck on your surgery. Stay in touch and when I get my diet i'll let you know what it consist of!

My surgery is scheduled for May 5th. I start the pre-op diet on April 22nd. I am really getting scared and nervous!

I am scared and nervous also.

I'm excited and nervous! But I have to get banded for my health and to be around to see my grandchildren grow up!!!

My surgery is May 6.

I have 34 days to my surgery! Im so excited! The only thing I dread is the pre'OP diet

I won't lie. The pre op diet sucks. Depending on your doc, it varies from all liquid to a mix. Mine wasn't too horrible as they go, really. I did two Protein shakes into which I could blend frozen fruit and a lean and green meal that had six to eight ounces of lean protein and green veg and salad each day. Some are all Clear liquids, some all Protein Shakes, some milk and yoghurt... Just follow your surgeon's plan.

Different people need different length pre op diets, too. Some people do a day, I had to do three freaking weeks!

The purpose of the pre op diet is to shrink your liver and make it safer to install your Lap Band so wile it blows, it is important.

My pre-op diet will be 4 Carnation Instant Breakfast or Slim Fast shakes with added protein powder daily and 1 Healthy Choice meal of my choice for supper. I will follow this for 2 weeks prior to my surgery.

This is about the same as mine, too
