I am only a few days away from surgery. I am so confused with what I can and cannot eat the first 2 weeks - some say jello is okay, some say no. I am starving on my liquid diet right now. From all of you who have had this already, do the hunger and cravings really go away? I need desperately to lose the weight, and this is my last hurrah. I am 60 yrs old and have been on so many diets, including lap band, that I am successful with at first and then gain the weight back. Is this going to feel any differently? I know it is is up to me, but I wanted to know really how much you think the surgery works on these items. Thx so much
