What was your preop liquid diet like...

Well it looks like I am going to start my liq diet real soon...Supossed to be 10 days liq and 1 day clear liq and no food or drink after midnight the day of surgery...I guess we will discuss this my next visit or so...Any comments would be helpful...What did yall eat or drink...

Mine consisted of 5 1/2 protein shakes per day. I was also allowed as much sugar free clear liquids as I wanted. I had jello, Crystal Light, decaf tea and occasionally bouillion. When you get close to your surgery day you'll have to avoid anything with red food coloring.

 so did u decide on lapband????ur date is set?

No my date is not set yet I just put that date because that is when I would like it....I think it would be much sooner than that...

I didn't have one.

Just had to stop eating by 10pm the night before my surgery.

Did your doctor/nutritionist not suggest a protocol?  Most offices offer Optifast, or suggest specific brands of Liquid protein.

Make sure you get clear guidelines --- and also really good post-op instructions.

My dr.'s office offers HMR shakes so guees I will have 4-5 of them per day I didn't think abt that...just the extra stuff...

Everyone is different...I had no pre-op diet whatsoever. 

so was you self pay or with inc

Lucky for me I didn't have to go on a pre op diet.  I ate a lot of salads, no junk food and I lost 8 lbs.  I wasn't even trying to diet.  So I didn't weigh myself.  When they weighed me before surgery I was really surprised.   So I guess you have decided on the band.  Good for you and keep coming to this forum for support, you will need it.

Ya I decided on the band if they can change my consult stuff I went for gastric bypass consult shame on me but I did I let a worker talk me into it....
