January '09 banders



Recommended Posts

Hi, after looking back through my briefng notes my pre banding diet consists of only,

Water,

1 oxo cube,

limited milk,

2 yogarts.:)

it is suggested i start this at least 7 days before D Day,:wink2:

I have no idea how i'll survive this and have warned Husband and children to stay away, :angry_smile:Ha Ha.

Has anybody else been on this diet as all the other posts iv'e read you have all been on "slim fast" or similer products.

HELP.:)

Dunkley, so sorry to hear you have to do an awful starvation diet before your surgery. I am one of the lucky ones. My doctor doesn't require this. I am very grateful because I don't think I could handle the stress of preparing for surgery whilst starving myself at the same time. Good luck and hang in there. It'll be over soon.

Hey, Sandy! You and I are being banded by the same doc on the same day! How cool is that? I've got the 0930 slot. Isn't Dr. Baptista a sweetie?

I'm allowed Clear liquids like Crystal Light, hot tea, bouillions, SF popsicles, and SF Jello. It's not easy and I basically told my family to fend for themselves. Every time they cook or eat I lock myself in here in the home office. I've lots of sympathy for you.
