Keep your eye on the prize, think of the pre-op diet as a test, you pass, you get your band

i remember well starting my liquid pre op. i had to do 2 1/2 weeks being a southern gal and lots of hubs biker friends over at the house on weekends and us (frying everything) i was thinking there is no way...but you know what.....i managed to pull through it and so will you. to me, the first 4 or 5 days were the hardest....it showed me that there is something called head hunger (i wanted to eat because they were eating) and i also found out quickly that i was stronger than i thought i was and so are YOU.

keep drinking

I have 5 more days, I don't know how anyone was able to do it longer than a week. I think being bored is the biggest issue I'm having. I'm a stay at home mom and I need to do something out of the ordinary to make this week interesting lol

I started mine early and the first week was the hardest after the carb crash and withdrawal I've found it's better everyday. Think about the end results and stay busy. I even taught my daughter to make Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes during the first week as I had to avoid contact and that helped. So now after three weeks I'm getting banded in 2 days. Hang in there!!!;)
