I am having my lap band surgery tommorrow. I am suppose to be following a low carb, high protein diet, for 7 days prior to surgery. Not doing so well on this. I am told this is to make my liver smaller to make surgery easier. Since I am not doing well on this before surgery diet, can this affect me after surgery getting hungry sooner? I didnt tell my doctor I was not doing well with the before surgery diet. Should I have told him? I just seen and talked to my surgeon tonight. He told me I would feel hungry even with the lapband. I thought this band helped you eat less, feel fuller, am I missing something?
