BandedJulie

So this is my 3rd day on a 2 week pre op diet... the diet consist of 2 Protein shakes, 4 oz fruit, 4 oz vegetables, 4 oz protein (meat) a day.. I can also have broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free popsicles. When I stop and read everything I can it seems like I shouldn't be hungry... but my body is telling me different.. I stay with head ache and no energy.. I just want to eat something and feel the feeling of fullness again... I need some encouragement.. Any suggestions on vegetables and meat that are more feeling then others??

I'm only on day 3 and feel the same way you do... I'm hoping things get better... I've got to get a grip on this hunger!! I've got head aches, a growling stomach and no energy to do anything... The 20th can't come soon enough!!

With my particular insurance I started the process in September and just received my approval letter last Thursday. I'm scheduled for surgery on Dec. 20th. The chance for a new life is worth waiting for. Don't give up!! Good Luck!!

Hey all December bandsters!! My date is scheduled for Dec 20th.. I'm so excited and can't wait! Good Luck and Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!! I know I will be able to get through this.. just need to stay positive!! Hopee- I can really relate to you.. I also had 2 sections and this will also be my first time being put under... it gives me comfort knowing someone else was in the exact position I'm in and came out fine.

I'm being banded on Dec. 20th. I cannot wait to start my life!!! Merry Christmas to us!!! :-)

I'm scheduled to have my lap band surgery on the 20th. I started my pre op diet yesterday and am struggling... I stay with a head ache, I'm always hungry and have no energy to do anything. Any suggestions on how to get through the next 2 weeks would be greatly appreciated. I've been a bundle of nerves lately.. I'm really excited to start my next step into the my weight loss journey, but at the same time I'm scared of the things that could go wrong.. having thoughts wondering if I'm making the right choice... Was wondering how everyone else dealt with the roller coaster of emotions leading up to the surgery..

I'm also scheduled for the 20th and started my pre-op diet today. First day was rough, hoping it will get better with each day. I'm excited and can't wait!! Good Luck on the 20th!!
