I am scheduled for lapband procedures Aug 1, 2012. I began the liquid diet on July 18. My RD told me to have 4 protein shakes unsweetened applesauce, sugar free fat free pudding and jello. Let me say its not easy. Talking to other lapbanders they suggested substituting 1 protein shake for wonton soup ( without the wonton) of course and getting steamed broccoli and put red pepper flakes to spice it up. I even boiled the frozen spinach in water and seasoned with red pepper flakes and mucho black pepper. I then added the spinach to the soup with the broccoli and it was delicious.... Let me tell you it taste like steak and potatoes it really hit the spot and I feel confident that I could get through the next 2 weeks. So far its been 1 week and I lost 10 pounds. I want to say stay focus and keep pushing because you deserve it. Does anyone else have suggestions for Pre Op diet

Great suggestion. Will do thank you

I did clear it with the Dr. he said it was okay. Your right it is best to check with your Dr. at the time I needed something else to keep me motivated. I didn't want to cheat and lose focus on my goals. It's hard to keep the Pre Op diet and if you can gain some insight on trying different things it only helps. If you think about it steamed broccoli has no crabs and is filling. The wonton broth only has a low amount of calories. My protein shake gives you 26 grams of protein per serving. The RD said that was the best.

Yes I'm scheduled for Aug 1, 2012 I'm on the liquid diet. Just protein shakes 4 times a day unsweetened applesauce, sugar free fat free pudding and jello. I started getting hungry and decided to take wonton soup no wonton and steamed broccoli and eating it for dinner it really helped. This is really mind over matter. In 1 week I lost 10 pounds
