i am on the pre op shake and low fat/ low carb diet too. we are only allowed 800 calories per day (including shakes) scheduled for lapband on October 16th! already down 17 pounds! Nervous and excited about upcoming banding! I HATE pain, and am scared, but know I need this tool to be sucessful for the long term.
i am also scheduled for being banded on October 16th! Biggest thing I was having difficulty giving up was the carbonated Dt drinks! Thank goodness for crystal light with caffiene!
