Hey guys for those that have been banded, how and what did you do for your pre-op diet? The options are many, but most don't sound too appetizing. I am new here, so if this has been asked already (which I am sure it has!) please point me in the right direction.

I haven't been banded, but I have been given my pre-op diet by my surgeon's office. Two Protein shakes a day (100% whey isolate), and a small, very low carb dinner -- three to four ounces of Protein and a green veggie like broccoli or green Beans. I can put half a banana in each shake if I find they are not filling me up. I'm not supposed to snack, but if I am just too hungry on the plan, then I can add a boiled egg, some low-fat cheese, or some lean deli meat in between Breakfast and lunch, or lunch and dinner. This is for four to six weeks, because of my size.

Good luck with your pre-op diet and with surgery!

Same surgery date! Good luck to you :confused: I am on the pre-op diet now, day #3. It consists of all Protein supplements supplied by the surgeon's office (for a fee, of course). I am eating oatmeal, chili, smoothies, bars (only one a day is allowed) Soups and some other protein supplement mixes. Weird food if you ask me. I'm just viewing it as medicine for my body to prepare for surgery...nothing to get excited about! I'm not as hungry as I though I would be, although I would love some real food. The good news is that I've lost 7 pounds, HA! All Water weight for sure, but it still feels great. I also gave up caffeine - that has been the worst. Headache not so bad today :thumbup: I am also exercising...not too hard though - this diet is only 600-700 calories a day!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
