I am being banded on Monday and I am on a all liquid preop diet with no more than 20 grams of protein, low fat, low sugar diet. Pretty limited in what I can have. I have lost 13.6lbs so far since Sunday. I am looking forward to getting a little more variety on Tuesday b/c it has been lots of broth. Sorry to say this to you but glad to know others have a pre-liquid diet that is similiar to mine. You know the saying--misery loves company LOL
