-I am not sure which doctor yet, I am trying to make it to the Seminar tommorrow. I have gone to the website and at first I was looking at the lapband but when I sent for info from the BMI website they sent the sleeve info and now believe this is the answer thanks for letting me know the diet, anything you can share would be great !

Well, my surgery date just got moved up to 7/15. I start preop diet 7/1. 3 slim fast with fat free milk, 2 cups steamed veggies, broth, Jello, and zero calorie drinks for two weeks! When do you start your diet??

That's great news about it getting bumped up. My pre-op starts 7-8 and I think it's 2 slim fast & 2 Atkins a day and then 3 oz of meat and a cup of Cooked veggies at night . I can also have a 2 cup salad with 1 tbsp of dressing instead of the cooked veggies. And 2 sugar free Jello or 3 sugar free Popsicles. I started my journey with a different facility and got that pre op diet now I have to wait till my nutrition class with my new facility before I can find out if there's us the same. They said its very similar.

Hi there. I am tentatively scheduled for July 29th pending final insurance approval. I'm in Florida too! They haven't told me about my preop diet yet. Where are you in FL? I'm having my surgery in West Palm Beach.

[ElaineB 207]

Asdamato, I'm in the Orlando area. My family is in Brevard though. I'm getting excited, but I'm kind of afraid of the pre-op diet:). We will be going through it with lots of others on here. That's a blessing. Lets keep in touch.
