Two days until I get banded. My Dr. did not require any post-op diet. I have been watching my calories, and try not to go over 1,200 a day. I been really good. I do want to have one last meal before my surgery. I am thinking of having it tonight so I have plenty of time to let it pass threw my system. Any suggestions on what to have for my last real meal??

What did you eat the few days prior to your banding??

:tt1:

I had my last meal two weeks before surgery because my surgeon required a 2 week liquid diet prior to surgery. I actually had several last meals, LOL, but looking back and considering that I can't have bread anymore, I would probably have either gone with a Subway Sub (love their bread and think about them occasionally). Or because I am watching my white carbs, Pasta (Olive Garden....mmmm!). Otherwise, there is no food that I can't have now that I could pre-band.

I'm getting banded on Oct 13. I will be having pizza!

For a last meal. I also agree with the moderator on this one. I did not have a "last meal" I was on pre-op for two weeks, basically no carbs. It only took aabout 3 days to get those out of my system. I actually had protein shakes for Brakfast and lunch and a sensible meal for dinner minus the carbs. So meat and veggies. I was told to use the Saline laxative the night before. Not harsh at all. I hear alot of differnt stuff on this question. My dr office want you to shrink the liver in those last 2 weeks, to avoid any type of nic no extra bleeding needed. I am 9 months post op down 61 pounds. I eat very sensible, the tightness and restrictions feels good. It makes you stop when you should. I went a month las month wothout restriction and I felt as if I was piggin out. Even though I was still using my bread and butter plate and seafood fork to eat with. You will get accoustomed to eating very little and this will maybe increase as you teach yourself to chew and chew and chew some more so everything goes down easy. 30 minute cutoff on dining time, don't go over.

Good luck, now is the best time to start something new. Congrats you are on the right track. Use this website as a tool as well. You will see lots of great info, somethings before you ever encounter them.
