I am on day 1 of my preop diet. Only 14 to go...I am getting banded on Jan. 11th. Any ideas on how to stop the feeling of being hungry. Any ideas of how to manage this problem of constantly being hungry during preop diet?

What does your preop diet consist of? Mine was only for a week (thank God) but was 2 shakes and one small meal a day. I did my meal during lunch so it was easier to space out the shakes and not feel so deprived. It was hard for the first 3 days by then the headaches and shakiness had subsided. Try and hang in there though .

I am getting banded on Jan 11th too! I don't start my pre-op diet until Jan 1st but I'm already freaking out a little. I think the first couple days will be the worst. Our minds are our worst enemies sometimes. I'm going to try to keep my hands busy.....scrapbooking, suduko..... The evenings will be the hardest for me after I get home from work and the rest of the family is eating! WE CAN DO IT!
