When you are going in for surgery, it's very important that you make sure you stay within the boundaries of your before surgery diet. If you don't, a number of complications can arise that can make your surgery go by much less smoothly. The best tip for your before surgery diet is to simply drink water. This way, you will be hydrated enough that you don't feel the effects of possible blood loss during surgery, and you also won't be going onto the operating table with a full stomach. The last thing you want is to head into the operating room and feel the need to go.

There really isn't a lap band surgery "diet" per se.

The majority of these calories should come from lean proteins and vegetables. Patients will be asked to limit their intake of fat, sugar and carbohydrates.
