I'm starting my liquid diet in the morning. My surgery is scheduled for the 18th. I'm excited and nervous. Can't wait to start this journey.

It is only natural to have those feelings. Surprisingly, the liquid diet was not that bad. You have put alot of preperation into this and I am sure you are ready for the big day. I wish you well.0

Good luck. I had to do the liquid diet for 2 weeks before my sleeve surgery. It really wasn't that bad and it does prepare you for life right after surgery!0

good luck,some finf day 4/5 the worst but personally i found it a dodle! x :flowerforyou:0

I had to do the liquid diet also for 2 weeks. Believe it or not, after the first few days it wasnt bad at all. I developed a secret love affair with sugar free popsicles! I think at that point I was so excited and nervous about my surgery that the days just flew past. Congrats!0

Same here. Maybe I just got lucky, but I like my protein shakes very much. And I swear they put crack in sugar free popsicles. I could have one hundred of those in a day.0 -
You got this!! Those 2 weeks will pass by quicker than you can imagine - just keep your eye on the prize!!!0

I too was excited and scared as hell when I got the news I had been waiting for - that I was approved to have my Lapband surgery. But it was a good excitement - I was lucky during the 6 mo supervised diet I lost enough weight that I didn't have to do the two week liquid plan. Just 3 days. But I would have done it if needed. Tho' I did have to do the 3 week liquid after the surgery and as the others say = you get thru it. Congratulations on your surgery date!!0

My lap band is scheduled for the 21st so I expect to start the liquid diet this Thursday after I see my Surgeon.
Any advice or tips on how to prepare myself?
I plan on hitting the grocery store on the way home from my appointment since I've been trying to purge the house of potential snack foods.0 -
Thanks everyone. Things are going okay with the liquids so far. Popsicles rock, that's the high for the day. LOL
Today was hard, have had major headaches most of the day. But I heard that's normal.0 -
Good luck0

Good Luck, My surgery is scheduled for Feb. 19th. My partner has had the surgery in Jan. 2013 and I am following her diet with added protein prior to surgery. I hope you are doing well. If you have not started walking, I have been encouraged to do 15 min intervals at least 2-3 times a day. From other surgery patients they have told me to keep up the walking it will help.0

Thank you, luckily I started exercising regularly over a year ago. I'm just following my regular workout schedule. Wishing these headaches would stop. I had cut out sodas and high sugar foods a while ago. I guess I'm still detoxing out though.0 -
lemonade and limeade were my best friends for the liquid pre-surgery diet. But I only had to do 3 days. However, if I ever see jello again it will be FAR too soon.0

No kidding...especially the cherry flavored one. I have to fight my hubby for them!0
