I'm being banded Sept 13th. Has anyone started the preop diet? I'm not sure about choosing between pre made shakes and mixing my own, which brand to drink. My nutritionist gave me a list of brands but I have a friend who uses Carnation Instant Breskfast sugar free. A lot of decisions and I'm excited and nervous at the same time!

Does anyone have to do the liquid diet

I'm doing 3 day clear liquid diet. I'm on day 3, surgery is tomorrow. It sucks! I'm not hungry anymore, weak more than anything.

So I'm sitting in the preop waiting area. The nurse started my IV and gave me a shot of Heparin in my stomach. I'm just waiting until they take me in. It feels surreal to finally be here waiting. So psyched!

I like the EAS advantage pre mixed shakes and the Atkins shakes are good too.
