Most of u are probably on to your week two, congrats. Im on day 3 tomorrow. My head. This sucks. But I can do it!

yes you CAN do this.......the first 4 or 5 days is the hardest....detoxing from the chemicals....you realizing what head hunger is vs really being hungry...you are this close......once you realize you can do this, the rest will fall into place...hang in there :)

I am on day 7. I was so craving a hamburger yesterday that I sat in the parking lot of McDonald's for 20 minutes. Then I drove away drinking a Protein shake. If I never see a shake after post op stage I couldn't be happier.

Lol! There is a burger king around the corner from me! And a popeye's. and a McDonald's. so much food. My pre-op allows for 2 cups of veggies per day. I am 100% certain i probably had 6-8 cups tonite for dinner:-( but i stayed stong and only ate steamed veggies. My pot at the end of the rainbow is sept 6- puree day! i've been dreaming of pureed meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Literally, dreaming!

I too am on my 7 day pre-op! I am VERY hungry!!!! My head hurts and all I think about is food that il never be able to eat again! I've done well but it has been very hard and I've lost 5.5 lbs. My band date is Aug 20 and I can't wait! My pre-op diet is 3 shakes a day 3oz of Protein 2 cups salad greens and 1/2 cup veg twice a day. I'm trying but it's so hard.

I had a huge headache after a few days but then it died down..funny thing is I did good on my pre op diet until the day before my surgery when I decided to eat just a spoonful of the sloopy joes that my mother had fixed....bad move....THAT gave me an even bigger headache. I started my journey weighing 317. I was just banded today and was down to z85! Im feeling pretty good

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
