LOL...I have not started my pre-op diet yet...but I am already panicking about food. You can do this and overcome any mental struggles! When is your surgery? Mine is potentially on August 27th if they have room for me, which means I will start my pre-op diet on the 13th. Anyway, I plan to go to bed as soon as I get home from work LOL so that I won't think of food....maybe you should try it.

Just tough it out, you don't have long to go. Once you are banded, most if not all of that is going to go away. I was obsessed with food before I was banded, now it's the last thing on my mind. Most of the time I only eat because I know I have to, not because I want to. Infact there are times when the sight and smell of food are overwhelming so I avoid eating because it's a sure sign that I'll feel sick and PB whatever I do try to eat.

Being a former food addict, during my preop diet I would chew whatever I wanted to eat and spit it back out until I got tired of doing it. Then I would fill up on Water and a Protein shake - please keep in mind that these are tactics used by people with bulimia and other eating disorders - but you have one anyway in that you love food. This will at least get you over the hump and you won't need to do it again once you get the band.

I feel for you I am no day 8 of it and dying today. I have done great so far with just a few bites of food here and there, but today is the worse. The girl beside me at work has done nothing but eat today and I can't take it much longer. I was just in the bathroom crying because of it.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
