2 weeks pre-Op liquid diet Q

Hey Y'all! Just wondering if anyone has a list of what all lapbanders are allowed to eat for the two weeks BEFORE their surgery????? Thanks :) Missy

Hey Missy! If you are using Dr. Wellborn then I can give you a little information on the pre-op diet. You will meet with his wife Suzan and she will give you the specifics but basically you can eat anything that you want as long as you do not eat over 800 calories. I was not required to do a total liquid diet at all. I ate mostly salads and baked meat and veggies because they are so much lower in calories. You have to be on the 800 calorie diet for two weeks before surgery. If you are over like 300 lbs. then Suzan will recommend that you do the 800 calorie diet for three weeks. Basically, the diet is to get you ready for eating smaller amounts and also to shrink your liver. I thought it was going to be really hard but it wasn't. Hope this helps you out a little!!   Karen

Thanks, Karen!!! We ( me and my hubby ) are using Dr Wellborn so that's just the info I needed! Thanks so much! Hugs :) Missy
