Early june 2013 banders?

Question' date=' I have been advised by my nutritionist and surgical coordinator that I do not need to do a pre-op diet except the day prior to only have Clear liquids. It seems as if everyone is on a pre-op liquid diet. Am I the only one that surgeon doesn't require that? And if that's the case, I'm wondering why?

I started doing the shakes and broth anyway to try and get ready for the post-op and hope to shrink my appetite .

I still wonder if anyone else was told this and why don't I need to have the pre-op diet ??[/quote']

I've noticed throughout the site that the pre-op diet varies from 1day to 3 weeks depending on the surgeon. It certainly won't hurt you to try to get used to liquids before you go in though. Good luck on the 6th! I go the following week, so I'm looking forward to your advice :-)

Time4Kim and solson8201,

Yes Tina talked about Optifast but I'm on EAS like Kim and we both have Dr. Dicicco

Time4kim, I think i remember Tina saying the shake depends on the doctor. I have Aguila. Do you go to the Tampa office?

[Indiab 9]

We have the same Dr on the same day!!!

See you there!!!

Thanks everyone! I'm hoping everything goes well, about 2 hours before I leave and head to the surgery center! Not nervous yet! I hope that's a good thing lol!

Got my band this morning around 7 am, and was up walking around by 8:45 am! Surgery went great, mild soreness/ discomfort in stomach. I drank two Water bottles today around noon- 4 pm, and I am still full. So excited for what's next! Good luck everyone!

[solson8201 98]

So awesome!! I can't wait to hear how the next few days go so I know what to expect next week.

I'm doing pretty well. I'm finding that I'm not that hungry really, just bored. I go Thursday for my pre-op weight and testing, hopefully they are happy with my progress :-)

Good luck tomorrow, I go for mine on Friday. I'm not really hungry either, just bored with the food. But half way there and down 11lbs so that helps. Staying positive.
