Struggling with pre-op diet

I am really struggling with the all liquid diet. I only have to be on it a week but I am sooo hungry. I have had to eat something. It's smalll but it helps. I am having really bad headaches where everything is blurry so I ate a small sandwich. Being diabetic I think has something to do with it. I may just have to eat a little something every day. After I ate my headache went away. I don't know what to do. I guess I need to call the dr office tomorrow and see if it would be okay.

After the 1 week of my pre op diet, I too was thinking, what am I doing....headaches and starving....but it gets easier....I think my main problem was caffeine withdraw. On my pre op diet I was a protein shake for breakfast, one for lunch and 4 oz of fish or chicken with small amt of veggies for dinner. And water water water! Hang in there, I wish you luck! I was banded 2-4-10.....and I love my band! Peggy

I have started eating some food in the evening because my blood sugar drops too low. I feel better knowing I have some food at night. Only a few more days until I have the surgery so so nervous!!

Hello everyone! Time to cheer up, fulltummy is here... of course I haven't had the pre op diet nor the surgery, but my morale is high.. about as high as my waist is long (either 56feet or fifty six inches, can never get that straight). There is an old saying, nothing is forever. I hope so when I see my full length mirror! Sorry, this is as serious as I get at age 72. That is either years or feet, I can never get it straight. I write, that is what I do. Go ahead, take your shot. Wait for a space in my expansive chest when you do.

If you are out of work, write. Love to discourse on how the world is flying, how well what's his face is doing in My White House... Obama, Odumba, I can never get it straight...

fulltummy, in Texas, y'all.
