Topic: RE: Leg Cramps on Day 4 of PreOp Diet

I did some research and found that on your liquid diet you can drink apple and cranberry juice and both have a lot of potassium in them.
I hope this helps.

I have been on my liquid diet for 2 days and I will be having surgery on sept 4. Good luck and I hope this helps.
Good luck,
Christine

Topic: 36 hrs to surgery w/ stomach virus

I have had a stomach virus for 2 days now and can not get ahold of my doc. I highly doubt that he will do the surgery right now. What do yall think!

Lap Band on 09/12/08

Topic: worried about liquid diet

Lap Band date is 9/12. My Dr wants his patients to use Optifast purchased from him for 2 weeks prior to surgery but I cant afford it. The nurse suggested something else which is 3 meal replacements (about 800 calories) but now I am only 12 days out and am hoping and wondering if I am going to be on this liquid diet 'long enough'? Reading other's situations, it seems the Dr's differ on this liquied diet pre-op. Some people dont even do it. I weigh approx 250 and would like to know if anyone can reassure me that 10 days liquid diet will be OK?

Susan,

Congrats on getting a date! I am not going to be too far behind you with surgery. I am scheduled for lapband on Sept. 26th.

I completely understand about eating in response to feelings...I have to start a pre-operative diet on Monday and I am worried that I won't be able to follow it like my dr wants me to.

I hope things go smoothly for you and please keep in touch and let me know how things go!

Take care, Jen

The RD told me they don't have as many carbs as Carnation so I should try the fruit flavor and add it to light V8 fusion. But the Chocolate and be added to milk and they have a chicken soup flavor that you just add warm water to.

Topic: Sept 22 2008

i've been working towards this date for more than a year now (because of my insurance) and i have finally made it to the end of the road. Sept 8th i start my two week diet and that makes me more nervous than the surgery it self. The draw backs are the the way people start treating you even before the surgery. I hate the word jealous, but it seem the green eyed monster has entered almost every room that i entered. Thats ok, because i'm not going to let them steal my joy.
