Just breathe. I am having my surgery on April 25 and have been on the pre op diet for 5 days and it was torture at first but it is what it is. I spread out my Protein drinks and am eating sugar free Jello in between. I get a few hunger pains but they pass in a few minutes. What get me through is remembering why I am doing this in the first place. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk

Wow 6? Well maybe I need to loose morere before surgery than you. I weigh 335 and would like to at least get to 200

Yes only optifast 3times a day unlimited sugar free jello broth and water. I started on the 18th and it's very hard but I'm determined. I wish you luck

I thought about cheating too but the picture in my mind of a thinner healthier me have kept me from cheating (so far)

I think it wouldn't be so bad if I could eat something...anything at all I would feel better but only liquids are very hard

I have mine on the 25th too! I an nervous and excited as well. I'm in St. Petersburg Flordia and having my surgery at St. Pete General. Where are you?

I know how you feel. I am scared and excited at the same time. I keep telling my self that it will all be worth it. I am scheduled for April 25th and the pre op diet stinks so far but I mave to make it!

Thank you all for your help. Sometimes I am only hungry because it's time to eat. I guess I never realized how much I was eating out of habit and not hunger

Thanks. The stock I tried was very greasy and just plain old nasty. I know that I should not complain because I knew what to expect beforehand. This too shall pass

Hello all. I am new to this site and just wanted some support. I have been approved for my Lapland and my surgery is scheduled for 4/25/2012. I have started my pre op diet on 4/18/2012 and I am very hungry. My surgeon requires me to ave 3 protein shakes daily along with unlimited sugar free 10 calorie jello and broth. The broth is nasty to me so that only leaves the jello and water. I am determined to get this weight off ? Any suggestions?
