Every surgeon has different requirements.

Your doctor should provide you with a detailed diet of what you can eat before and after surgery.

If you have not received this from him I would make sure to try and get it.

When you've decided to have lap band surgery is the right choice for you and your weight loss goals, your Medical practitioner will put you on a fairly strict lap band pre-op diet to prepare your body for the surgery.

Caloric Intake: a limited calorie intake of 800 to 1,200 calories per day

liquid Diet: In the last week or two before surgery, you'll likely be asked to begin a liquid diet.

Protein and Protein supplements: Protein will be an important part of your pre-op lap band surgery diet. In fact,

you'll need to consume 70 to 120 grams of protein each day, as directed by your surgeon.

Cheers!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
