LMCHP 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Wow, you're so close! I'm not a preop dieter yet with 8 or so weeks until my surgery date. It feels like I should be dieting or something though. Feels kinda weird not having anything do to but wait Best of luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feels kinda weird not having anything do to but wait Best of luck to you! Yup - I remember being in that position of just waiting....:notagree What helped me was becoming active here on the boards and reading and learning all I could to have realistic expectations of what was to come. Don't worry the time will pass and before you know it you will be on the pre op diet as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CajunCutie 1 Posted April 27, 2007 I am pre-op dieting also! My doctor has me on a whey Protein diet. I don't even have a surgery date yet. But, the diet is working. I feel better already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good for you! It always boosts my self esteem to see that scale go down. Now I am hoping once I am banded it will stay there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JLB 0 Posted April 28, 2007 I'm am on my 4th day of Optifast. It's going pretty good. Had a bad headache to start out with that seems to be subsiding now. I'm getting very excited about the surgery, just want to get it done so I can get on with it. I have read so much about banding that I really, really, really want to live it. I'm sooooooo ready! I've noticed in the last couple of days that I feel released by food. I feel like it no longer has me in it's control. Great feeling!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe7777 1 Posted April 28, 2007 i started diet april 24th...so that means i'm day 5. I've been fasting for the past 4 days, because i find it easier to not eat than eat another bite of yogurt or cottage cheese. I am SO hungry, i could eat anything, i'm basically sleeping to not be hungry...cant wait to be banded!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donna D 1 Posted April 28, 2007 It is very important to maintain your regular pattern of eating. Remember you are trying to start a healthy way of eating post banding. I lived on the yoghurt and Jello because I couldn't look at the CC. Eat 3, 4 or 5 yoghurt for each meal if you want. snack with the jello. If you really need it you can have some boiled or baked chicken. You must eat though. After all this time you don't want them to cancel your surgery do you.
