Hello and welcome to our group!
Dr. Miranda will tell you what you can eat after your tests and before your banding. She told us to go out and have a nice meal, but not to gain any weight.
I brought some bouillon cubes with me to mix with hot water for broth. It saved my life. The hotel has bottled water that is safe for drinking.
You are gonna be just fine! You will be amazed at the level of care at the OCC. Good luck and keep us posted! =D>
