diva 0 Posted February 17, 2006 Newbie here, making the decision to get banded. I understand that there is a pre-surgery diet with nutrisytem, liquids and soft foods for about 2 weeks or so? I know that whenever I get legit hungry (like no Breakfast and its noon) not just when I have an appetite that I get a headache. A real nasty headache. I also get cranky or to be frank...bi$%&chy. I am going through menopause so it just a hormonal roller coaster anyway. How do you get through those weeks with that strict strict diet before you have the surgery to get banded???? I can't imagine what a pain I will be to live with or work with. Thanks so much Best- Diva who might just move into a hotel and go on sabbatical for the pre surgery diet to keep friends and family safe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anwyn 0 Posted February 17, 2006 It's not going to be fun, but you get through it a day at a time. I weighed myself every day during this time... The weight loss kept me motivated. I just kept telling myself that if I had to make it through without cheating to prove that I was really ready for this lifestyle change. Good luck - you can do it!

Julie* 0 Posted February 17, 2006 Hi, I am on a 10 day liquid diet right now in anticipation of my surgery on Tuesday. Honestly, it hasn't been easy but it's been doable if that makes sense. I have been drinking 3 slim fast shakes per day and can also have crunchy vegetables but that is it. Honestly, the shakes give you the nutrients that you need and if you drink lots of Water then that should help the headaches. Like Anne just posted above- weighing myself daily has been a huge motivator! Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
