Just PM'd you, thanks again!

Hi everyone, I'm scheduled to have surgery this coming Friday, the 17th. I only have to do the clear liquid diet the day before the surgery, then for several days there after. Although I am considering doing the plication with the lapband so I'm not sure of their requirements. I don't have my pre-op until Thursday so I'm hoping to get some tips from people in here Does anyone have any experience with the combo of plication & lapband? Are the dietary restrictions the same? Is a hospital stay required? Can someone give me an example of a clear liquid diet progressing ot a soft food diet, please? Sorry for al lthe questions, but I do appreciate the help! Thanks Fran

Hi everyone, I'm scheduled to have lap band this Friday, the 17th. I'm getting excited, and a little anxious too. I'm considering adding the plication to my surgery. Does anyone have any experience with that? Also, I only have to do 1 day liquid diet before my surgery date, but am curious what everyone suggests. I'm confused as to the difference between a Protein shake (which I doubt is considered a clear liquid I can have before surgery) and Protein drinks. What's the difference? Appreciate some feedback. Thank you! Fran
