Topic: RE: WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS WHAT CAN I SAY!?!?!?!?
Timothy, I was recently approved and have a date of Jan 15 also. I am also scared and nervous about the whole thing going down. I start a soft food diet on the 3rd, liquids only on the 7th. final pre-surgery testing on the 8th, final clearance from my PCP on the 9th, surgery on the 15th if all goes as planned. Best of luck and see you on the other side!

Topic: RE: help! pre-op liquid diet is icky
I wish I could help; the liquid diet sucks so bad. I would advise against cheating - I did cheat and it made me feel so bad. Did I understand you right that you have to lose 20 lbs by January 15th?
Good luck. I have actually gained weight on this diet. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, either, except maybe having too much broth.

Hi all.
I'm doing lap-band on the 14th. I don't have to do anything special pre-op except be NPO the night before OR. I am turning up the excersie a bit and trying to eat better (i.e. enough nutrients) to get ready for surgery.

Hi Shannon!
My surgeon isngt requiring me to do a liquid diet and hasnt even mentioned it so I didnt even know there was one until I started exploring this site LOL I would hate to have to do that before surgery, when you are still hungry! LOL I joined the gym the day after I had my initial consultation with my doctor and have been going regularly. I also cut out dr pepper completely and am only drinking things that are approved for after surgery. I knew that would be my biggist obstacle so I wanted to get used to it first. So far, so good.
