It felt like this time would never come! I am so excited an can hardly wait. I have been on a preop diet of yogurt and cottage cheese for 1 1/2 weeks already and I am so sick of the stuff, I almost prefer not to eat at all!

This forum has been so great in helping me decide and prepare for this life changing moment. I look forward to the time when I am on the other side and I can give the same type of support and encouragement that I have received.

Same here one week from today, exciting not at all a little scared but this pre op diet is drving me crazy good luck with yours!!!!

Thanks! You too. Did you wait long?

since last november but it went by fast until now. How is youre pre op diet doing and what does it consist of? thanks inadvanced!!!!!!

My pre op diet is 0% fat yogurt, 1% cottage cheese and skim milk. As much as I need to have. I can also have coffee, tea, SF Jello. That;s about it. I have been on it for 1 1/2 weeks and there have been some days that have been really tough. I have been able to work through them without cheating (going to be early a lot), so I feel good about that. I can make it and you can too!

What's your pre op and how long?

Let see Susan 20 grams of protein,drink less than or equal to 16 ounces of juice(apple/orange/grapefruit) 100%, milk skim, 1% sports drink (gatorade, powerade 64 oz of water daily, 80 oz of water day BEFORE surgery broth soup sf popsicles, sf gelatin and I sneAK in cottag4e cheese and a little Tuna to knock the edge off daily but I am still losing some weight.

Slackaction - that's good. I ended up having a cheat last night, but since I started a week earlier than I neede to, I am not worried about it.

I am so sick of cottage cheese and yogurt that I have no desire to eat at all! 4 more days of this and then I go Clear liquids for the day before surgery. I Can heardly wait.

You too Heather! Where are you being banded? I am with TLBC in Toronto, but having the actual surgery at Scarborough Grace Hospital due to being insulin dependant. (They take no chances with that one)

I'm also at TLBC!

how are you managing the pre-op diet now? do you find its getting easier or harder?

Definitely easier. Although just the tought of cottage cheese the last couple days has made me want to barf! Just 3 more days left for me, because I do 1 day os liquids before my surgery on Wednesday! How are you doing on the preop?
