I was just banded a week ago in Brussels.

Remember every doctor has different advice about pre-op diets....go with the doctor that will operate on you.

Low fat means just that. Do not be concerned about calories. Also do not be afraid to email him. He will answer.

The night before my surgery he told me to go out and have a nice dinner with a glass of wine!

FWIW I had the same worries you did before the surgery. It is normal. You crossed the hardest step IMO and that was making the contact with Dr. Chris and setting the date.
