I start the preop diet in 4 days. I have to have 3 Optifast products per day plus 2 cups 'approved' veggies. I have Choc shakes, beery crunch bars and lemon dessert.
I will probably take the advice on this thread and gradually replace one meal with a shake each day this week until I am fully on the diet by Thursday. I find that I keep having 'last meals' and maybe my mindset will change if I start a bit earlier.
I am committed to making the band work for me. I just worry about my ability to cope with 'head hunger.'
