i am scheduled to be banded on Jan 7th. I was given no pre op diet, no restrictions at all....i have been saying goodbye to all my favorite foods by eating them, no I am scared i am going to have a liver the size of a small child:eek:

I have had one appt with the office/dr., and it was super short...watched the video, dr gave me some post op info and paperwork...and that was it....they didnt even weigh me!!!!

I was fine with all this til i have been reading on here....should i put myself on some sort of preop diet....anyone have this same expeirence as me and it was all fine??:scared:

cherrie:help:

I am being banded in 6 days, on 1/10, and was given no pre-op diet. I do have to go on a clear liquid diet for 48 hours prior to surgery (only broth, juice, Jello..that kind of stuff) and nothing after midnight the day of surgery.

kacee, I came to that realization that I will still be able to eat, only in smaller portions, it's helped me pull the reigns in on grazing in the kitchen. I haven't had surgery yet and am doing the pre-op, jump through hoops, for aetna. Thanks for the enlightenment! PS, I love your pict of the ostrich, reminds me of the wildlife ranch we visited in close to San Antonio!
