i had my pre-op today
I did not have the lap band , but the lap RNY --- I did the 2 week liquid diet and I will not make it sound easy, because it is not, for me it was the hardest part of the journey , but well worth it in end. I would suggest a eat-a thon before , eat everything you want. Once the liquid diet starts there is no turning back. Stock up on sugar free liquids , jello, pop sicles etc..... get several flavors of Crystal light to mix with your water.
Again , it is not easy , but so worth losing 168 pounds. GOOD luck stick with it Girl , this is your new birthday on May 17th.

I did my 2 weeks almost 2 years ago...WOW that's a long time. I didn't have horrible time with it but it wasn't the easiest thing either. It will be so worth it!!!! People on our liquid diet are aloud cream soups. Not sure who your surgeon is but it wouldn't hurt to ask.
We are having a lap-band meeting Saturday @ 12 at the Ruby Tuesday's on Arrowood. If you are free we would love to have you.
Good Luck w/ your surgery!!!!
