For the record, I haven't started my pre-op diet yet, so take the following for what it's worth. But I did read a post in another thread that the lady was drinking or eating (Jello, popsicles, etc.) every hour and a half. Whether that was large consumption of Water or jello or Protein shake etc.. That seemed to help her get through the day because she knew that every hour and a half she was going to have something and she planned it out and put her phone alarm to it. This sounded like a good idea, but again, I'm not in it yet so I'm sure it sounds great now! Good luck to you!

Well, I've made the decision and I have the surgery scheduled for 9/3/14. I am of equal excitement and nervousness. I am a female, age 39 (turning 40 on September 20th) and I am so ready to be done with being fat. I have struggled with my weight since I was 16 and I am officially done. I'm done being hungry all the time and done having clothes look like crap on me and not fitting, but most importantly, I'm done avoiding taking photos with my family. There hasn't been a photo of me in the past 5 years and when my youngest son cried when we were in Europe in May this year because I initially refused to take a photo with him, I knew it was time to do something serious. So here I am. I am a cash pay Lap-Band patient with surgery scheduled. I have loved the stories that I have read on here and been inspired by some many of you. I would love to hook up with people on here who are close to my surgery date or who have had success and want to share it with me. Best of luck to all of you!
