That is great that you will have a wonderful Christmas gift (your band)! My pre op diet consisted of no bread outside of nature wheat (no white flour), no white flour or sugars, no corn, potatoes, or foods heavy in cream. I could eat fruits that were low in sugar, lean meats without any skin, and limited fruit juices or half/half. I was encouraged to limit coffee and lots of water. During that period it was suggested not to eat fried foods. The main reason for such a strict diet is to shrink your liver down to do your surgery. It seems a bite hard to do but just look at the bigger picture and what you stand to gain from all of it. page 1
