I am so excited now! I met with my WLS Dr and his Bariatric Nurse yesterday to go over the pre and post op diets. We marked my starting weight, took before photos and talked about the band. I have read everyone has a different diet per their Docs preference, and this is just me sharing my docs orders.

Pre-Op Diet

Atkins style with high Protein, low sugar, and low carb foods only. Begin practicing the no drinking with meals and small well-chewed bites.

Weeks 1 & 2

liquid diet "anything that I drink through a straw" but be conscious of high calorie drinks like choc milk and juices that will slow/stop weight loss. Small sips with Water as a top priority. WALK. WALK. WALK

Weeks 3 & 4

pureed foods light yogurt or blended foods. Focus on Proteins as much as possible. WALK. WALK. WALK.

Weeks 5 & 6

Soft, well chewed foods with the PVC balance. Proteins first followed by veggies followed by carbs. Focus on not drinking 20 mins before and after meals, chewing well, and WALK. WALK. WALK!!!

Sounds just like mine. You'll do great.

Your pre-op diet sounds way better than mine!

I think it's 2 weeks of liquids only in order to break the initial food addiction. They say it takes 2 weeks to get rid of a habit.

Good luck on your journey!!

Mine is just like yours aeromech. I am still a few weeks out yet.

I just made my first appointment for my evaluation. It is set for March 26th. I am scared and excited all at once! I will let my Dr. decide what is best for me but I am 69 yrs old and think the lap band is not so invasive! Anyone with a different suggestion?
