I made it through day one. 13 more days to go. I am hoping this was the hardest. But I truly doubt that. I just need to keep my eye on the bigger picture.

I am on day 7. I was so craving a hamburger yesterday that I sat in the parking lot of McDonald's for 20 minutes. Then I drove away drinking a Protein shake. If I never see a shake after post op stage I couldn't be happier.

Lol! There is a burger king around the corner from me! And a popeye's. and a McDonald's. so much food. My pre-op allows for 2 cups of veggies per day. I am 100% certain i probably had 6-8 cups tonite for dinner:-( but i stayed stong and only ate steamed veggies. My pot at the end of the rainbow is sept 6- puree day! i've been dreaming of pureed meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Literally, dreaming!

I too am on my 7 day pre-op! I am VERY hungry!!!! My head hurts and all I think about is food that il never be able to eat again! I've done well but it has been very hard and I've lost 5.5 lbs. My band date is Aug 20 and I can't wait! My pre-op diet is 3 shakes a day 3oz of Protein 2 cups salad greens and 1/2 cup veg twice a day. I'm trying but it's so hard.

I had a huge headache after a few days but then it died down..funny thing is I did good on my pre op diet until the day before my surgery when I decided to eat just a spoonful of the sloopy joes that my mother had fixed....bad move....THAT gave me an even bigger headache. I started my journey weighing 317. I was just banded today and was down to z85! Im feeling pretty good
