Hi AnnaOz.

My pre op diet was a total killer but it is almost over! I added the small amount of veggies each day and they helped get me through it. And added ice and shook up the shakes to provide more volume. And had ice pops and jello. All this helped get me through. I have not heard anyone else have so strict a diet. Even your strawberries sound delicious! The only good point is that I lost a ton of weight considering the short period of time (alright, just 6 lbs .) but that is a lot for me. I only lost 9 lbs to date so this is a large portion of my weight loss. I'm hoping this will jump start my weight loss. I've had problems losing and keeping weight off like the rest of the people who are being banded. I hope this is a permanent change! Best of luck with your surgery! I'll let you know how my surgery goes. You let me know how your surgery goes.
