Topic: RE: Pre-op liquid diet
It gets better. I am on day 5 of my ALL CLEAR LIQUID DIET except for 3 protein shakes a day which can be mixed with low fat milk. I feel it is getting easier day by day because I am in the mindset that if I mess up I risk myself injury to my liver plus I have to drop some weight before surgery day.......which is in 11 days. Yeah!!!

My suggestion would be to keep yourself busy. Keep yourself away from foods when your family is eating & chew gum.

Topic: Another October date - I will be banded 10/13
Hi all - this is my first forum post at Obesity Help! I am on the fast track - seminar late August, surgeon consult 9/22, dietrician and psych consults today, and surgery 10/13. I am self-pay so no insurance hoops to jump through. I'm nervous, and a little scared, and anxious, and tired of the wait already - I just want it over with so I get get on with it!

I turned 50 this year so I have the 2nd half of my life waiting for me ~~ and it's going to be healthy, fit, and maybe even longer than the first half (if that makes any sense ).

I am having Lap-Band, and if all goes well, I will be the first at this hospital to have it as day surgery. In the OR at 8AM, barium swallow by noon, and discharged by 1PM.
