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 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! :P

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.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
