Soup and juice have calories and sugar. Thats not allowed for the diet. Otherwise it would be easy! I would love some right now lol. Day 6 down!

My doctor didn't specify a certain number of pounds to lose during preop. They said the point of the preop diet is to shrink our livers and if we lose weight it's an added bonus. That being said...I started my preop diet on 11/20 and I've lost 16lbs so far:)

Hi all, I am not on a pre-op diet because my BMI is lower...I am self pay. Here is my worry, I lack will power when it comes to food in general (which is why I think lap band will help) but the delima in my mind is if I am so weak minded now that I couldn't lose weight on my own, how will I do it when I have the lap band? Im being banded 12-18 and have bought books on emotional eating, etc. but I do worry about it a lot. The one thing i have going for me is I work out a lot which in turn burns some of the calories I eat. I've made the decision in my mind to do this I just do have this worry that I will fail. Am I the only one worried about this? Thank you
