I finally got my surgery date   !! November 6th, I'll join the ranks of the banded.  Just wondering about other's experiences with the pre-op liquid diet.  I don't have to start for another 20 days but I want to get my ducks in a row.  I have an appointment with a nutritionist but want to hear from people who have actually been through it.  Any pointers or hints?? Any input would be appreciated!!  Counting the days...  Lisa

Chicken broth was my friend. You can season it up so its pretty darn yummy. I'd add pepper, garlic and onion powder and it would taste like chicken noodle soup. I also liked to add a little curry powder sometimes. Plus it has a little protein in it :)

Good luck!

Don't wait till you are starving to drink another shake or soup-keep intake steady and you'll be happier.

Get as much food out of the house as you can.  I was fortunate because my son was out of town for 8 of the 10 days I was on the preop diet.  So, no food, less temptation in the evenings.
Good luck!
