Pre ops Labs and Diet

[band2RNY 12]

I'm just curious..what are all the labs and stuff you have to do before surgery?

Also, my past lap band surgery I was on liquids for a month (protein shakes, broth, etc.)

I guess I find out two weeks before surgery what my doc wants me to do as far as diet. But, I want to be proactive and start this weekend. I wonder if doing the Protein Shakes, broth, and if I'm dying maybe boil and egg or two to kinda have something REAL to eat? Are eggs bad?

eggs are great, lots of Protein. For me.... I was on liquids for like 2-3 weeks, then soft mushy food for 3 wks then on to mushy, wet, soft solids. You can ask your surgeon for the meal plan now.....I am sure they will give it to you. Good luck

Labs are a full spectrum of blood tests and a urine test. No big deal.
