I am doing so horribly with my food intake pre-surgery. I try everyday to make good choices, but then by the end of the day, I find myself starving (headaches, shaky, etc.). I usually have a protein shake of some sort for breakfast, fruit for mid-AM snack, something high protein (tuna, chicken, etc), yogurt, and usually a piece of fruit for lunch, protein bar for mid afternoon snack. Sounds like a lot of food, but lately hasn't been enough. I am so ready to be done fighting food. It has ruled my life for so long now. It only seems like the fight is getting worse the farther into the approval process I get. Like a demon fighting to keep control of my body. I will take it back, with the help of the Lap Band. I will make my body, and therefore my life, mine again!!!

Hi Kathy,

My name is mutt, and I just went on the pre diet like yourself. So far first day! Im not doing so well. I havn't cheeted but I am starving, I really hope I can stick to this liquid diet. Good luck for the both of us.

I had the op laproscopically and all the doctor had to say to me about the pre-op diet was "if we don't shrink down your liver enough to do it laproscopic then we have to open you right up and cut through all your muscles to get to your stomach"

Needless to say I didn't stuff up, not even once, on that pre-op diet.
