Hi Everyone. Im due to be banded soon (17.10) and went for my pre-op assessment today. I'm feeling excited and nervous - this procedure is not that common yet in the UK, and I dont know ANYONE personally who's had it done. So Im hoping you guys will be able to help me on my way !(please?).

I have to go on a Fat Free diet from now until the op - any good recipies / ideas that may help me with this?

I'm enjoying looking around the site, and am picking up stuff as I go, so hopefully I'll be a seasoned pro before I know it.

Take care

Julie

Hi Julie and welcome to LBT! Congratulations on your decision to get banded. I suggest checking out the food forum. There are stickies at the top for every stage of banding. We also have a reciepe forum that you may enjoy.

Hi Julie,

Yes, definitely check out the food forums. Just as a teaser though, my favorite fat free item is fat free black Beans with salsa and fat free sour cream with a little fat free cheese on top. It's good for the mushy stage too. YUM!

You're going to do great. Congratulations on making the decision to get banded.

Congratulations and welcome. You've made the first step, much success to you.
