  2. Pre-banding diet

    I was banded by Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana, Mexico - many of us on this forum were - and he has 3 different pre-op diets. The goal of the diets is to lose 5% of your weight to decrease the fat around the liver as mentioned already. You have already done that!! Way to go. You could have your surgery now! Although Dr. Miranda (Dr. Ortiz's nutritionist) does have 3 pre-op diets the goal is to lose the 5%. She does not really care how you do it. She just gives suggestions that many people have success with.

    Diet options to choose from:

    1. Induction phase of Atkins Diet - for 3 weeks

    2. Protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and a lean cuisine for dinner - for 2 weeks.

    3. Protein shakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner - for 7 days.

    With all three of these diets you can have salads (lettuce only) with a low (5 cal. or less) or no calorie dressing. Like Salad Spritzers. There are also some other recommendations about how to kill hunger pangs like fiber supplements etc.

    If Dr. Ortiz is doing your surgery all of this info will be mailed to you in more detail but this is just an overview.
