This is a discussion on Pepper within the Food and Nutrition forums, part of the Main LAP-BAND® Surgery Forums category; Does anyone know if pepper is permitted on the pre-op liquid phase? I am permitted to eat Chicken broth, pepper ...
I don't think it would be a problem, but ask your doc to see.
My clear liquids consisted of broths of soups (like french onion soup from a restaurant), which did have pepper in it.. but I could see through the bowl!
