Pre-op diet

[fluffyinks 0]

I am on "liquids"" for my pre-op diet. I can have yogurt and cottage cheese, even though I don't consider them liquids. What else is considered a liquid? Can I have broth with veggies in it? One person I know that was banded by the same dr. that is doing mine ate cottage cheese and tomatoes. I am confused.....:help:

For ME while I was on liquids, I tried really hard to do LowCarb Liquids like protien shakes, yogurt, SF pudding, SF Jello, SF poplsicles, also had chicken broth and tomatoe Soup

GOOD LUCK!

Whoa! Tracy - LOVE your new picture! You look fantastic! Getting banded 11/09/07. You are an inspiration.

My pre-op diet starts 10/26/07 - all liquid for 2 weeks, Dr. does allow veggies along with the liquid diet.

Thanks for the info. As you can tell, I am stressed about the liquid diet :eek: but I will be fine and do what I need to do before my banding on the 15th.

Hi travelgirl,

Yes, I am being banded at Tall Grass. I see you are to. I have met another bandster who had her banding at Tall Grass. How was your experience. I would love to hear from you.

They are THE BEST. Everyone there is so helpful and caring. I had the best experience there, and they even made my hubby feel at ease during my surgery. I can't say enough good things about everyone there on their staff. The PA there does every other fill for most patients, and after he did a couple for me, I request him every time. He's AWESOME at fills. If you haven't met him yet, you will, his name is Robert Blanken. Tall skinny guy with a shaved head... If you have any questions, you can PM me, and I can try to answer them for you.
