  1. I appreciate everyone's comments so far. I think im going to stick with it. I guess im frustrated with the hunger im feeling on this pre operation diet. Doesnt help my family is stuffing themselves on pizza while I eat broth and half a chicken. If the band helps me feel satisfied that will be a great thing. Im not worried about the food I can or cant eat its the feeling of always being hungry I want to go away.
  2. Im am concerned and now thinking of not having the surgery. It sounds like I still have to count calories, protein, and eliminate certain foods. If I have to do this am I not just going on a diet? What does the band do for me? Couldnt I accomplish the same results without the band? Need help.
  3. Has anybody used Dr. Wilkenfeld in Houston? Just wanting to know if people liked him.
  4. Im on Feb. 12th. Insurance wont pay so its all out of pocket. Im looking forward to not feeling hungry. This pre-op diet stinks. Always feeling hungry. Good luck to all the Feb people.
  5. Im eating two Protein shakes and two halve meals. Half chicken breast for lunch and dinner with cut green Beans. My first pre-surgery is Wednesday so I'll ask if I should have a third shake. I defiantly can make it the two weeks but it's going to be very frustrating. I'm hoping the end result makes it all worth it.
  6. Well 1st day of pre-surgery diet. I am so hungry but believe I will make it. I am hoping that it will get easier as I get closer ti my surgery date. Surgery is on Feb 12th and I am really looking forward to it. I still continue to work out and that may be a mistake but going to keep going to the gym. Never done anything like this before but I figured I could use some support.
