Looking at all of the posts from the May week 1 bandsters is getting me more excited each day! My Hubby (who is not particularly in favor of the surgery) is becoming more supportive and is volunteering to cook spaghetti and take me out to dinner before the liquid diet starts....

my husband was totally against it at first (his frist wife had gastric bypass...got skinny and left him with 2 kids which i am now raising) so I can see his concerns, but when he heard my dr tell me that If i didnt do something about my weight(high bp and diabetes) that I would die young and leave our 4 young children without a mother ( children are 13, shes mine from a previous marriage...10 and 8, his boys from his first marriagem and we have a 9 month old together) So now he is all for the band!!! I am still very nervous!!!

Hi Jamie: My doctor also doesn't require a pre-op diet. However, I am drinking 2 Protein shakes a day with greek yogurt and fruit and a mostly Protein dinner. I am with a "Center of Excellence" group, so I trust their judgement.

The main reason for pre-op diets is to shrink the liver to make surgery easier. Many obese people have fatty livers. I am doing my part before surgery by staying away from all fats, low carbs and high protein. I'm not going to starve myself... I will have plenty of time for that post-op :cursing:

After the clear liquids for 2 days post-op, I am only allowed the equivalent of 1 8oz can of Slimfast per day!!!! This is the part that I am very worried about. I was told that I won't be hungry for about 11 days after surgery, but the last 4 days will be rough...:thumbs_down::scared2::cursing:

      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.
