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
