I would cut back on your calories prior to your pre-op diet. I cut back on my calories a month prior, it has helped my in tolerating my 2 week pre-op diet consisting of 2 protein shakes and 6 oz of lean protein and a cup of veggies. I am not hungry between my meals. I also added the protein shakes to my diet a month prior. On pre-op diet you will feel a little more fatigued than normal. Good luck and time will fly by.

perhaps a carb free diet. this will help get rid of belly fat which in turns helps your surgeon place the band.

I'm more consistent during the week where there's more structure and I struggle on the weekends. So maybe I can stick to the pre-op during the week and do the shakes in the morning and lean protein, vegetables, and light carbs on the weekend?
