My Full liquid diet (Everything is 1/2 cup - 1 cup)

-Milk 1% or skim

-Low Fat sugar free Yogurt. (make sure it has very very small pieces of fruit)

-Low fat sugar free pudding

-Low fat sugar free custard

-Strained Cream Soup either 97% or 98% fat free

-Tomato juice

-V-8 juice (not the fruit one)

-Oatmeal, cream of wheat or grits: extra runny

I'm having my surgery On Nov 27th in Tijuana. My insurance turned me down twice, and this was the only affordable way. They want me on the liquid diet 5 days before the op.

Hello fellow "soon-to-be" bandsters! My surgery date is Nov. 10th and I have been totally obsessed with research. It's hard to concentrate on other things when all I can think about is the surgery. So excited and optimistic.

HAHA i thought i was the only crazy one.. jk.

i can't wait.. mine is 11/23. i just think.. the more research.. the more successful.

good luck!

I'm sure it will be perfectly fine. The doctors in Mexico are good as just about anywhere just be sure to follow all of their directions and you will be ok. :wink2:

I am going to be having my band put in on November 19th. I am going through all kinds of mixed emotions. I am just waiting for my information packet to arrive to tell me about the pre op and post op diet and to get my blood work and ECG done. I know this is a good thing that I am doing but I have carried this weight for 30 years now and the realization that it is actually going to go away is so overwhelming. :wink2:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
