I found it much easier to transition into the Lap Band eating plan by starting about a week pre-op. My surgeon didn't require me to do the pre-op diet, but I wanted to get in the healthy eating habit and prepare myself for the liquid phase post-op, so I went to Protein drinks and Water during the day and a healthy salad at night.

When you say you're doing Protein drinks and Water, and not getting banded until October...you're not ONLY doing Protein Drinks and water are you?

Keep in mind every surgeon and nutritionist require different things, but my nutritionist suggested at our first meeting, a month before getting banded, that I start a high Protein, low calorie eating plan.

It's tempting to have you're "last meals" with junk food but really, I think it will make quitting those foods so much harder after surgery. Always check with your WLS team though and see what they recomment for pre-surgery eating.

I started A lowcarb/high protien/low fat diet about two weeks ago I just figured I need more time to get a skinny liver and more time to live a new way of eating. I think its a personal decision for each person but ive been losing 2lb per week and I have to go to a more stricter pre- op diet starting the 31st and I feel this is preparing me

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
