BDS_Geologist 0 Posted August 12, 2008 After many administrative hassles, I'm finally approved by my Insurance company and have scheduled my procedure for Tuesday August 26. I haven't received any preop diet instructions, but I can see that personal experiences on this topic cover the whole spectrum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susie Girl 75 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Welcome BDS! I am new bandster as well. I was banded 07/03 in Chicago and have lost 14 pounds already. My pre op diet was 14 days, full liquids. Slim fast shakes, sugar free kool aid, sugar free popsicles, Tomato Soup, chicken broth, etc... That is what my doctor instructed for me, but I know that every doc is different. You might want to call your surgeon's office and find out what he normally does. I wouldn't want to give you the wrong advice, I can only share my experience with you. Hope that helps and welcome to LBT! Chi-Town Susie Girl... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
