thanks help1977 for the great idea of lemon and splenda!! I was worried about the liquid diet, but it wasn't as bad as I had thought. I've done 10 days so far and my surgery is in 5 days! I just decided that I would manage through the first couple of days of hunger ... and not be afraid of the feeling. Between drinking the shakes and drinking the Water, I always felt like I was taking something in ... so its been ok and I don't feel very hungry at all now. Good luck to you!

I read through this section to see what I had missed ... I saw that people posted about coffee - I tried giving it up, but I felt awful and decided to have one cup in the morning with a small amount of half n half and my dietician from the surgeons office said it would be ok if i just drank a cup of Water to compensate.

Also, I did get the magic bullet and its very very convenient. You mix the shake right in the cup you drink it from - so no mess. But I did hear that after the surgery, I might not be able to tolerate mixing the drink with ice because it creates gas. So we shall see!

Good luck to everyone!!!

Lady, I love my bullet. It's great for creaming up chunkier Soups and you can microwave in it too.

I entered twoderland this week. It's a great thing!!

Hi everyone

I have missed a few days on here and now I'm lost. Are the Bunny Bandsters now merged with the April Bandsters? Congrats to all those who had surgery this week and all of you who got your dates - you will be very happy!

Ladyjp, I find I can drink alot of Water if I put Lemon and splenda in it and alot of ice I need it cold.

This is a great idea pre-op, but remember that most docs don't allow anything acidic for awhile post-op (citrus, tomatoes, etc.).

Are the Bunny Bandsters now merged with the April Bandsters?

LOL, yeah, we've tried to bring everyone here (this thread is on the pre-op forum, which we all won't be much longer) over to our very own April 09 Bandsters Forum- CLICK: HERE (there are lots of threads you can get involved in for people being banded in April-Bunny Bandsters so join us there.). Threads just have a mind of their own though LOL!

Can you get the magic bullet at any stores or do you need to order it from the infomercial?

Thanks!

Son owns the As Seen On TV store at the Great Plains Mall in Kansas, so I know ASOTV stores have them, but I think I remember seeing them in Linens & Things & Bed Bath & Beyond type stores.

Hi everyone

Just wanted to check in and let everyone know I am doing okay. Banded yesterday 4/17 little nausea yesterday from all the drugs, sore in port area but nothing too bad. Got home around 7:30 p.m. and my honey took really good care of me. I got up around 12 today and was able to shower with no issues just sore when bending and reaching down below. Took another nap and I am know thinking I am going to make a very thin milkshake.

I am on liquids for first week and then to pureed my doc said if I feel hungry then start on purred I am a little scared to try "real food". That's pretty much it for now. I will check in when feeling better

Thanks for everyone support

Hi, I was banded on the 13th and my doctor is having me wait 2 weeks to go to pureed food. I think it's interesting how much it differs from one doctor to another. At the moment I can't imagine wanting to eat again. I'm supposed to be on full liquids (protein pudding and cream soups) but I'm having trouble getting the Protein Shakes down.

Just have to share. I'm 10 days out and I'm finally feeling pretty good. I still have port pain, but only when I move suddenly. The Dr. said that with everything he had to go through to get the port in there, it's no wonder I have extra pain.

I'm so excited. This morning I put on a coat that I couldn't even get close to closing let alone zipping last week.

Today I zipped. Yippeeee.

I am concerned that I'm not getting in all my calories. Good with Protein and liquid. I'm keeping a food journal at myfitnesspal.com. (great place)

Glad to hear from everyone.

      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.
