So i started my pre-op diet today...which consists of 6 protein shakes, sugar free jello, sugar free popscicles, and broth. Also 100 oz of water or so a day! i was super nervous about today...thinking today would be the worse day ever with being hungry..

well had to go to the dentist this morning to get what i thought would be a root canal...and ended up having to get the whole tooth extracted!!! :bored:...i am in SO much pain! so eating is not even anything i want to do...

so i guess it all worked out in the end! not really hungry and probably wont get all six shakes in! and i've lost two lbs...just today...haha

hope all my other may bandsters are doing well :glare:

Im on my third day. The first day was the worst.. today it didnt really faze me!

Hope it goes well! Good luck

ok - so yesterday was day one for me too! It took me 2 hours to drink my shake then I had broth for lunch and a shake for the ride to my (teaching class about the band) I also had water through out the day...so I asked the nurse will it get better and she said yes and then I ask do we have the have the 5 shakes a day and she said yes you need that and I said well, I had 2 today and she was like no wonder you are hungrey....then I was so starving when I got home so I had a sugar free popscicle.....I have a really bad headache but I think that is cause no soda and sugar and stuff - they say that should go away...anway done 1 lb in a day....I sure hope it gets easier but if I drink my 5 shakes I should be ok.......good luck gals

It does get better, I promise! The third day was the worst for me, because I had gone cold turkey on caffeine, and started getting caffeine withdrawl headaches. If you can make it through the liquid diet phase, you can definitely make this (the band) work for you!
