PRE-OP DIET BEFORE REVISION

Hi All,

I'm new here. I currently have the lapband and have had it for 2 years 9 months with only a 25 lb loss.  I am scheduled for a RNY 12/15/10 and am very excited about it.

With my band, my doctor didnt require that I do a pre-op diet, but has required that I do 2 weeks with the RNY. I have to admit that I cheated today with some crackers.

Did anyone else have trouble sticking to their pre-op diet?  Any input is welcome

Thanks,
Jo

I am going thru the same thing, minus the liquid diet... I have to maintain, and my band is empty... that's what it's been good at maintaining my weight.

Just think ofw hat's coming... I know it's hard. I may attempt a few days prior to my surgery, if I continue to struggle like this. I'm up a few down a few, up a few, down a few.

Thanks...I'm trying to stay strong.  1 more full day to go.  Wishing you luck when you get there.

I was supposed to do pre op diet of low carb slim fast, sugar free popscicles, v8 juice, chicken broth for 10 days.  I did okay the first few days then slacked off.  The last 4-5 days I was absolutely perfect.  They need your body cleansed and remember this is to shrink the liver so the next few days are extremely important to be good.

I will Tamara...only 2 more days. It was easy at the beginning, but has been difficult these last few days.
