CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted June 13, 2013 Following the pre-op diet is important to shrink your liver to make it easier for your surgeon to place the band. Some will refuse to operate if you have not done a good job following the diet. It is just the beginning, and it may get worse before it gets better until you get back to solid foods. Make sure you are committed to see it through. Failure should not be an option! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJRN 79 Posted June 14, 2013 My appointment today was very short. I got my papers for pre admission testing and doc went over the surgery. I work at the hospital that I'm having the surgery at so my doc cracks a lot of jokes. We have a lot of fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We just had a convo about what will happen and he answered my remaining questions. This diets not so bad now but here's my question. I don't know about you but my Protein shake is hard to get down now. I think I'm so tired of it that it's making me sick. I'm using unjury. What kind are u using? I think i need to change it up for a bit. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winkie80 147 Posted June 17, 2013 I'm on day 2 of my 10 day pre-op diet. I am on a high Protein low carb. I'm scheduled for June 26th. I drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast, a Meal Replacement for lunch and I have a lean mean with vegetables for dinner. I can only have 1 serving of fruit per day which is a snack. Good luck with your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blayden2029 15 Posted June 17, 2013 I am 3 days pre-op. I have tried many Protein Shakes trying to find something good. For me, I like the nectar brand by Syntax. I found on their website where you can order a 12 sample pack for $13.99 shipped. Call 866-333-7403 extension 803. My local nutrition shop had samples too but they were $3 each, this is way cheaper.
