Hi Aprilbene, I"m also on the 15th and I have to fast from midnight, but allowed to eat whatever I want. I didn't have a pre-op diet, I was lucky.
Good luck,
Jen

My doc was a little different, I had to be on a clear liquid diet for 24 hours prior to surgery. I was told that it was to lessen nausea after surgery. BTW I'm 1 week out from surgery and haven't been nauseous the first time!

I was on a clear liquids diet for 3 days prior to surgery. I was told they have to manuver around the liver to put the band on our stomachs and that the clear liquids helped to shrink the liver.
Of course the best advice is always to follow your doc's advice. Good Luck.
