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.
