I'm starting pre-op diet tomorrow Wed. 8/13/08. Bit nervous but eager to get going. Surgery scheduled for Friday 8/22/08. Any insight on prediet would be helpful. My understanding of pre-diet is protein shakes breakfast and lunch then salad for dinner. No soda and weaning off caffeine.

Hello.. I had the surgery on 8/7 I was allowed only clear liquids day before surgery then nothing after midnight. I already started eating a little bit of mush 6 days post op. The surgery went great I was on the beach 2 days later (in clothes) and back in school on monday ( i am a full time student) good luck!!! Dana

thanks for feedback. my doc calls for clear liquid day before too but the rep from lapband suggest at least a 10 day pre-diet. i'm starting to get really anxious. It's going to be a long 10 days.

my preop diet was kinda like the slim fast diet a hsake for breakfast one for lunch and a sensible dinner (baked chicken or fish). it wasn't so bad. you'll get thru it just fine

Good Luck. Yea 10 days..it will go by so quickly. Look how long it took for you to get this far right? Congrats and don't stop now :crying:
