I have been ready for this surgery for nearly a year now but what I am not ready for is starving and this liquid diet thing! Will it be better after I am banded and have restriction?

Yes the liquid pre diet is not so good. It is a big change from the way we normally eat and some people have problems with nausea and feeling shaky but also the fact that you feel like you could just cheat and there is no harm because you haven't had surgery yet. It is hard and unfortunately your just going to have to white knuckle through it. After surgery you most likely won't want food for a bit anyway. Good luck.

Good luck Julie. Just keep reminding yourself why you're doing this. It's hard, but you can do it!

Good luck, I hope you do good.

Thank you everyone!

Good luck Julia
