For my pre op diet the dr is telling me it's only one week of high Protein no carbs... Does that sound right?

The special pre-op diet is to temporarily shrink your liver so the drs can easily work around your liver.They have to lift it in order to work.Thats if your getting it done laparoscopic.If you go the classical cut which is open surgery it won't matter on the pre-op diet.Check with your surgeon which one he is doing.

I'm on my pre-op diet now, started on Friday. I'm slated for the band 4/29. It varies with each surgeon as to how long they want you on the pre-op diet. I'm on it for a total of 9 days prior to the surgery.

I'm getting banded on May 9th and start my pre op diet next Tuesday for 10 days .. I tried to start it yesterday just to get a jump start on it and am finding it harder than I thought! I'm eating Greek yogurt and Protein Shakes for bfast and lunch along with lots of Water ... anything else people are eating to mix it up?
