I am so excited & nervous at the same time, I tried so hard & trying to stay w/ the preop diet but I have cheated big time hopefully I can still get banded.

If you continue to cheat the band will not work. My nutrition does not allow any type of juice. I liked the protein drinks from Bariatric Fusion.com. When I had my surgery, throat was sore for a day or so but had no gas and no pain, never even opened the bottle of painkiller! Up and out after staying in the day after surgery. Had surgery in Feb.

They gave me cranberry juice in the hospital an Day1. I was told to be on full liquid diet when I get home, which includes creamy soups and light yogurt as long as they do not contain any solid chunks.
