I started the preop liquids 6 days ago and I am hungry alot of the time. I am drinking my protein shakes, then having boullion, SF jello and popsicles, 1/3 c cottage cheese or yogurt per day and tons of water. I am surviving but I am hungry. I keep saying to myself that this too, shall pass. My surgery is on 9/9 so I have just a week to go! But no way to 'sugar coat' the preop diet- it totally is awful! Again, I can do it and so can you!

I'm a nurse too (30 years) and really have few reservations about the band. I clearly have not maintained a healthy weight or loss for a very long time so I clearly need some help. I want to live long enough to worry about 80 years old and 'banded' so I'm moving forward on 9/9! Good luck.

I'm scheduled for 9/9... On pre op for 3 days now. No cheating but I'm hungry! Very hungry. Allowed 3-4 shakes per day and 1/3 cup of cottage cheese or yogurt. So far, so good but I feel like I'm starving but I know I'm not. Didn't realize how much I REALLY ate before I started this. No wonder I'm fat!

I've started my pre op diet 8/26 and surgery is scheduled for 9/9. I am very hungry and am trying my best to stay positive. It is hard to just not eat and have only shakes!

I start my two week pre opdiet tomorrow and am scheduled for 9/9! Not looking forward to the prep liquids but i cando this. Let the journey begin.
