I have surgery in two weeks today for lap band i started my liquid diet today and it already isnt fun any tips about getting threw this not starving? And how much does some lose doing this?

It took me about 5 days to not crave carbs. I drank Protein Max Chocolate shakes from GNC, chicken broth, unsweetened tea and enough sugar-free popcicles to feed a small army all summer. Everytime I thought about food which was alot...lol I did something. Sometimes just getting outside was enough to tame the hunger. You have to realize that mentally and physically your body is doing a 360...Just remember this too shall pass...many of us have survived..and you will too..Do something good for yourself every single day...

Just stick it out. Remember that this is the last time you will ever need to starve yourself in order to lose weight...

You will make it through this. It is not fun, but I lost 17 lbs during that 2 weeks.

Thank you everyone today is day two and its already harder then yesterday it seems the only this that keeps me full is decaf coffee with 1% milk no sugar, im going to try those popscicles that sounds pretty good thanks again!

The first three days are the worst. After that it gets better. (At least it did for me)
