Hi everyone I am new to this site and having revision surgery next week from band to bypass and would love some suggestions of food to buy before I go into to the hospital and some comments about what to expect. I am excited but very nervous at the same time. Looking forward to reading your comments.

welcome welcome welcome. You will find a lot of info here as well as support, The few things I think you should have for sure (because a lot depends on what your doc wants you to have) sugar free Jello, sugar free Popsicles Water, crystal light, maybe low sugar gatorade or propel. and some low fat chicken and beef broth. Those are things you should be able to eat pretty soon, then the other stages come in when your doc or nut says. Wishing you the very best. I will be following you on Dec 5 if I can get my blood sugars to go down. The only problem I have had with the band is didn't lose very much weight and it didn't help the diabetes at all. I have had mine for seven years. I do feel that if nothing else the band has kept me from gaining more weight then i would have without it.
