trust me it gets a lot easier as each day goes by - you get used to it and your stomach shrinks so you're less hungry. A lot of people on here put something up on the fridge so you can "cross off" each day that goes by - or a sign that says i can do anything for "x" days and then countdown the days! best of luck to you - the 2 weeks of "hell" is nothing compared to the success after - i'm 2 1/2 months out and down 44 pounds - well worth the pre-op diet!!!!!

Thank you so MUCH! A little frustrated with myself at 8:06 pm because my tummy is whinning a little louder than I would like it to be right now. Didn't think it was going to be to bad and I pray that tomorrow is a little easier.

REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THAT!

what kind of shakes are you drinking. Here is a web site that I like there shakes and you can order online, I order the individual varity pack, a little more costly but only 4oz.s, low carb and calorie and high in protien. Also try the isopure fruit flavored at GNC they are 40gms of protein and have a little after taste but you can tolerate them if you get tired of milk based. I hate they myoplex and some of the other mixes, to much whey after taste. The web site is www.bariatriceating.com My favorites are peanut butter cookie, carmell latte and double dutch chocolate. I also like the unflavored pure powder they sale, you can mix it will a skinny carmel machiatto from star bucks and have a protein drink and a coffee. Special rules for mixing in hot liguids but it is yummy. YOu can also mix the unflavored in your cream soups and other liguids post and preop. The protien will keep you from being hungry. This phase will be the hardest, but you can make it.

you are officially my ....hmmm..... "life support" for my lap band.

I am drinking what my Dr. said. EAS AdvantEdge. The Whey after taste is what is pushing it over the edge of tolerable to me....... I have never really been a big "shake" of any kind person so to only be allowed to have this....hmm.....not so much. BUT I am GOING TO DO IT DANG IT! I have wanted this since 2003 and kept hitting walls....I am not this close and giving up. NOPE NOPE NOPE!
