I haven’t cheated yet!! It’s Thursday and I think yesterday was the hardest so far. Today I don’t feel hungry just have that pit in my stomach and not much energy. I started on Monday and I have dropped weight every day. My Dr gave me no options for any other food other than opti-fast 5 times a day and clear fluids. (Sugar free Jell-O, fat free & calorie free broth once a day) and all the fluids I can drink. June 2 can’t get here fast enough. I have made my-self busy so I don’t think about food much and my wife thinks I’m a freak. I mowed the lawn again last night only after I mowed it on Monday. I just lowered the mower deck and just cut it shorter. (Kept me busy for 3 hrs) I think I will start painting the house room by room tonight. We (wife & two boys) are going out of town for the weekend fishing and I know that’s going to be a real test.

Well done Jbrod. You have a real handle on your pre op. You are losing weight not only from eating less but from all the exercise you are doing. Congratualtions and keep on fighting the good fight. When you get the band, I expect to see you in the onederland very shortly.

Hi, This is my first post. I have my surgery next Tuesday @ 1:30 p.m. and will spend the night in the Tucson hospital, that is, IF I can get my sodium levels up. At my pre-op, I was told to go home and eat pretzels, drink GadorAid or the like and NO water as it will flush sodium out. I go back to the Lab on Saturday for another blood draw. Wish me luck.

Hi,
The bariatric program that I attend doesn't require a pre-op liquid phase. The patient has to lose 15% of his/her excess body weight, but how you do it is up to the individual. They do give some patients medication to help lose the weight - only if not contraindicated medically.
They will not do surgery until you have lost the weight, however. The reason is a fatty liver. In the pre-op classes they explain even a few pounds make a big difference in the amount of fat around the liver.
The requirement was frustrating at times - but all in all I think it was a good idea. It helps you learn how to eat regular foods after the surgery.
The program I am attending is at Bassett Healthcare in Cooperstown, NY.

That's where I'm going thru... But now it's 5%. I have 13 pounds to loose. I'm almost there.
Teri
