Preop diet starts today

skinnygrrlatheart .. It gets easier. I had the same pre-op diet and surgeon as D_1710. I would have to say that the second - third day was the worst. That is when I started going through withdrawals from Coke and caffeine. After that, it was smooth sailing. I had my surgery yesterday and all went well. I am sure that was in part due to following the pre-op diet and instructions. Good luck to you. I am sure you will do great.

This whole adventure will be a test of your willpower. It gets a little easier, but will

always be a test, but at this time next year it will all have been worth it.

Corrigan, you're so right. I'm really learning the difference between head hunger and real hunger. Great lesson.

Jumper, today is day 3 for me. Amazing to me how full I am. I have a Protein shake 3x a day and Jello if I need anything else. I had Jello the first day, simply because I felt I needed something. So far so good.

Good luck to you!

I'm finding the pre-opt diet to be a great motivator. I am on day 9 and lost 9 pounds. It makes me want to keep going. I'm also trying to spend some time sorting out in my head if I am really hungry or just head hungry. Most if the time, I find it is in my head. I hope I can continue down this path after the surgery.

The pre-op liquid diet continues. I've become used to the taste of the powder and I did find some flavorings I can add to it for some variety of taste. I'm not that hungry. One day I did not want the 4th shake. What I hate is what this stuff is doing to my bowels . I'm for sure gonna have a clean liver and GI track when this is done. Also if you're on this diet and think you have gas to release, don't risk it. Go to the toilet asap. I am looking forward to enjoying different liquids after I'm banded. So tired of milk now.

Hi Jumper82 I think you got the surgery date I could of had if not for a busy work week. Hope you are doing well after surgery.
