May 7th is my day but I found out today a few days into my pre op diet that they gave me they wrong info because I'm suppose to have about 4 oz of food at my one meal but they told me 4oz chicken/fish/lean beef, 1cup vegetable and 1 cup fruit...which is far too much for me too eat to begin with.

Now I need help on figuring out meals for the one meal a day I'm allowed before 48 hours before my banding on May 7th

Beyond nervous that I've messed up this whole process.

I'm self pay in Houston doing the hiatal hernia- banding program.

Thank you

Every Dr. Has different orders for pre and post op diet. Understandably, you are nervous. I think your best choice would be to contact the doctors office, and get your diet information in writing. Do you have an e mail contact? You will probably want to reference back to the diet plan occasionally anyway, and having it in writing will help you. Good luck!

My date is May 7th too My preop lets me have 4 oz of meat, 2 servings of vegetables, 2 servings of starch, and a serving of fruit along with 2 protien shakes a ay and a protien bar, unlimited SF popsicles, jello and broth. I would recheck to make sure you're understanding correctly- did they give you anything in writing? My Dr sent me a preop diet in writing to make sure I understood.

My first doctor (I switched this week after issues with the first) gave me the written one saying 4oz meat 1cup fruit& veggies but I had preop this morning and this doctor said to split it into two meals to make it more realistic and gave me a plan that just went over Protein requirements...

I'm new to the whole idea of Protein drinks as well...so far I have found one that's decent and a few that are horrid lol

I will call in the morning to recheck I just feel like I'm messing it up :/

Are you may 7th in Houston as well?

Congrats on almost being there

No- I'm in South Carolina. I actually break my meal up too. My Dr. said it really doesn't matter as long as I make sure I get in my protien drinks and protien bar. I have been using Muscle Milk for my shakes with unsweetened vanilla almond milk- they are OK with that. I have to do water the week after surgery and I don't like them with water- but I can do it for a little while.
