I was banded on Monday 4/30/07 so I am 4 days post op. I am really sore and have some gas pains. I had hoped to go back to work Wednesday, but NO WAY! I have now taken off until Monday--hopefully I will be feeling better by then. I have been doing the 30 minutes walking and getting the 64 oz Water in but I haven't really wanted anything. I have to remind myself to eat some sf Jello or a popsicle every so often. From the start of the preop diet until now, I have lost 19 pounds. :D I'm just glad the surgery is over and I wish I was feeling more normal.

Congratulations!!!!!!!

How was the week before on the liquid diet? I am one of those addicted to food addicts. Help with any information you may have. I will be banded on Jun 28.

Take care.....

Twinkletoe - My surgeon requires 2 weeks of Clear Liquids + 3 slimfast optimas per day prior to the surgery. It wasn't as bad as I feared but I was really hungry that 2nd week. I did figure out by accident that the slimfast were wonderful frozen. I accidentally left a cappucino delight slimfast in the freezer too long and it froze. I used a can opener to open the opposite end and ate it with a spoon. It was great and I felt like I had something in my tummy. I ate lots of sf Jello and sf popsicles and drank lots of crystal lite. I hate broth but I did get some wonton Soup (without the wontons) and that tasted great. Good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
