Pre-Op Diet

Nothing happens if you drink low carb drinks, a doctor I know, Who´s name is Dr. Cantu, in Mexico, he told me that he gives his patients a special liquid diet 1 week before lap-band or gastric bypass surgery

Hey Argon... shhhhh, but if you call the Dr. Couburn's office and explain that you can not do this anymore Marie will tell you a little lean chicken would be ok.. at least it was for me.. shhhhhhh. It saved me.

Oooh lampchops... I love you! lol I was thinking that last night... that this is a 'protein thing', so surely some chicken breast would be ok! I'll give em a call tomorrow. Is that what you did? How long before you finally cracked?

Thank you

It was a week before I went loopy. I put some chicken on a big bed of salad and dipped my fork into a little dressing ( like I used less than 1/2 a teaspoon) and it was soooo good. I lost 13 pounds over the two weeks so not too bad.

What do you mean? I'm not sure what you mean by low carb drinks? I drink Protein drinks.

Boy am I glad I didn't have to do a preop diet! Good luck to all of you! I think most people are not hungry after they get their band. I was starving so I suffered right afterwards. You are getting your suffering over in advance!
