Oh, sorry I misunderstood.  Yeah that would be scary.  Has your doctor given you the types of liquids you can use?  Will it be protein drinks?  If so hopefully they will stabilze your blood sugar.  I don't know yet if I will have to go on pre op liquids.  My pre op visit is June 22nd.  My understanding is that the liquid diet is to help reduce the size of the liver so it isn't difficult to get around during surgery.  So much for your "last meal" splurge!

I will definately get that book...thanks....the reason I am so afraid of the before diet is that I am a diabetic...and am afriad that I will get sick...low blood sugar....and wow after years of overeating to survive on liquids only for 5 days is scarry....good luck also to you yea! june 29th!

hello holly, I think we have the same surgery date  June 9th ....it would be great if we could share our experiences..thanks

My date for the Lap Band is June 16th!  Good luck to us all as we prepare to embark on this wonderful journey!

NO FAIR, I had to be on a liquid diet for 7 -10 days.....i almost died.  Good luck to you and your surgery.  You will do fine.
