I just got back from my pre-ops- No liquid diet here either-just liquid diet the day before.
Topic: RE: how much have you guys lost ?
Congrats on your 50 pound weight loss! That is wonderful!
I haven't had my band put in yet, but my step-sister lost 60 pounds in six months. She said the doctors told her that they didn't expect her to lose that much in that length of time. She has slowed down now to 1-2 pounds per week, which is what they expect and a good rate of loss. So I think you are doing wonderfully!

Congratulations!! 50 lbs is terrific!!
I'm not sure this is the right place for answers! Most of us haven't had surgery yet, but will be having surgery during January. There should be a board with your month, or a board specifically for lap banders that could give more insight!!

If you really want to lose weight, do the liquid diet, and STICK to it! You HAVE to lose weight on it!
Topic: RE: SURGEY DATE 1/23/08
Hi Tanika!
I am also scheduled for surgery on January 23rd. My surgeon is having me on only liquids the week before. I'm doing 2 shakes a day and one meal a day right now because he said I need to lose 20 lbs before the surgery.
Good luck with everything! Can't wait to meet you on the losing side...
Topic: RE: Excited but scared
I am on three shakes a day, but what helps with the cravings and hunger is the protein powder itself, not the shakes. I add about 15gr of wey protein to each shake sometimes more and it really fills me up a lot better. Surgeon recommended 60g of protein a day, I tried to eat that with regular food and found there was no way to eat that in a day, so you really need the supplement. I have lost 2kg and this is only day 4 of the preop diet. the wey protein is available at a lot of bodybuilding websites. Hope this helps.

Hi Ana
I am not really fasting, but on a preop liquid diet of shakes that replace meals. The shakes contain high levels of protein. I am doing okay so far on three shakes a day but enjoy the little snack I allow myself. I have green salad with no dressing, a tomato, some carrots, one apple a day. I just alleviates the boredom of the shakes enough and esp the need to occasionally actually chew my food! So far I am never hungry which is great and I already lost 2kg on this diet. How is your fasting going? My date is 17/01//2008.

HI, the medifast 3 times a day made me drop 5 lbs in three days, all water probably but if you want to impress?? Good luck wiith the appointment with your dr. and remember the reason you go for this WLS tool, to help you where depending solely on will power does not do it for you...Personally, I will love to be rid of the blame game and being looked at as the person who FAILS at losing weight, so stop being so hard on yourself and telling it as it is might be the way forward for now.

Can you tell us how many pounds and are you on a liquid diet already cause i would suggest that. You could try the celebrity diet shake they sell at major chain drugstores like Walgreens. The drink says you could lose up to 10 pounds in 2 days. I know some people who have lost five or six pounds in a couple of days with the shake.
