It was so funy reading this. Yesterday at my mother-in-laws house I told her that I had lost 8 pounds on day 7 of my liquid diet. She said the doctor was gonna take one look at me and say I am to thin to do the surgery on me.
HELLOOOOO!!! He is the one who suggested it. I don't think he cancel it because I lost a few pounds by drinking every meal.
No need for the enemas. It goes in liquid and comes out liquid.
I don't think anyone could follow the post op diet that never had the surgery.

I don't mind the smell of the Slim Fast Low Carb chocolate ones, that's mostly the shakes I use. This evening, I blended it in the Magic Bullet mixer with ice and it's a lot like these milk shakes my mom used to make when we were kids (except this is healthier - heh!). It helps that I'm eating it with a spoon and chewing the ice pieces.

Today wasn't bad, but I generally have my meal in the evening, so this evening has been challenging!!! My husband feels bad because he ate dinner, but I told him not too. It's going to be quite a while before I can "eat" again! He's being very supportive and telling me how proud he is that I'm sticking to this.

So Sorry to hear about that !! Have you tried doing just liquids? I am on the liquid diet for 10 days now and have lost 10 lbs !! SO maybe that would help instead of not eating at all !! I hope the best for you ! My surgery is also on Friday, I will be thinking about you !

Hi. I had the band on jan.2nd and came home the same day.  I'm still pretty sore but its getting better everyday.  Just follow the instructions of your doctor on the post op diet and everything will be fine. Your in my prayers!  good luck and check in when you feel better.

Well went to pre adm. today, all went well there nerves started to kick into overdrive when I was talking to the nurse and anest. But none the less I also had my exercise class and that went quick and well.  Then I drive all the way home its like a hour drive give or take and the Dr office called they needed to do a weigh in today! So i turned around and drove back to the dr office and weighed in. Well I have until friday to loose five pounds or I cant have the surgery. I started to cry the whole reason I am doing this surgery is because my weight is on and off like crazy and diets dont work. I cryed all the way home I dont know what to do but no eat until friday so I am going to take diet pills and drink water and hope that works. Man this is just a huge set back as if it is not enough to deal with the surgery it self. I am so down and out right now but thanks for listening!! Any ideas would be great at this point!!
