lap band surgery

Hello all! I am feeling very nervous today- getting ready for surgery on Wednesday.  I did not find out until last Friday- there was a cancellation.  I am on the liquid diet and not sure what to eat- any advice? teacheronvacation

Hi. Liquids can consist of jello, pudding, popsicles, chicken broth, soup broths..... ect. I'm new, or newer.... had lap band april 1sst. Come on over to the lapband forum sometime.... lots of info for lapbanders there.. glad to have you on board congrats on surgery

Did they not give you shakes for your liquid diet? You need protein.  I'd do slimfast shakes and lots of skim milk with protein powder mixed in maybe? 

I am also having my surgery on Wednesday...with Dr. Baker though.  I am gonna be at St. Vincents and had the pre-op testing on Friday.  Good luck to you.   Regina Swint

They told me 3 protein shakes a day, sf pudding, sf jello, soup with no solids, runny oatmeal or cream of wheat with milk.  And water :)  Good luck with your surgery.  You will do well.  You have a great surgeon!
