hello! my name is Shari and I am being banded on the 21st, I am on a 14 day liquid protien diet right now and it is really hard, actually while at work i am ok but this weekend posed a big problem, I have been home and getting bored so I wanted to eat...I have done pretty good, I did eat a few wheat thins yesterday because I was craving a crunch...I hope this won't hurt anything, I am really worried about it now...if anyone has cheated please let me know so I don't feel so bad.

hi im also getting my band on the 21,but i didnt have to be on a liquid diet,i wouldnt be able to anyway

This just goes to show how doctors make different recommendations. I'm getting banded on the 21st as well, and my doctor has me on a 14 day slim-fast diet. Two slim-fast shakes per day, with a sensible dinner, as well as a couple snacks allowed per day.

Hi there !

I am a 21st surgery date too.!!!! I just did all my preop work today.. only thing left is a brief meeting with the psych to check my on me and make sure I am doing ok with my decision....

I have to do protein shakes from the 17th on.... Just like 4 days... but I have been doing them off and on for a while.... When you find a product that you like it isnt too bad.....So I found one I like and it works well for me...The first two days are the worst.. and then it is a breeze....

Let's all stay in touch!

My surgery is May 21 too. Can't wait!!!

21st as well. My MD has me on Atkins for 10 days, on day 2 of that and getting excited
