I am scheduled to have surgery Jan 30. I am on pre diet and it is bad. I am OK at work but when I get home I want to eat. Hope I can hold out for the rest of the time. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on day 8 of a two week pre-op diet. It does get easier as the days pass. It's almost like your body does an about face knowing that it can and will survive on the diet. The first 3 days I thought I was going to starve and die, but stick with it, the hunger pains will subside.

Stay strong and don't watch the food Network whatever you do!

you can do this! keep your eye on the prize!

Try drinking water and busy yourself.

Every WLS requires will power, honey! If you don't have/learn the willpower needed to not overeat, you will suffer (literally) the consiquences. Getting stuck is the band's way of saying "DONT DO THAT!" If you don't learn, you will undoubtly and/or eventually hurt yourself or the band. So just keep that in mind! And please remember there will be times when you are MISERABLE. Bandster hell is real and it sucks! But once you're past it, it's totally worth it

My willpower is not wanting to mess anything inside of me up! I don't want to have to have a revision, especially if it is something I could have prevented!

Good luck!

Hang in there...in a way this is your last diet ever!

what is bandster hell?
