Holy COW I'm hungry. Also, the shakes they have me on for Breakfast and lunch are AWFUL!

I need some tips for getting through this pre-op diet. I don't want to cheat. I just want to get through this without wanting to strangle my son for talking, or my husband for asking me to make dinner. LOL!

I am currently on my pre op diet, my banding date is July 31st, I both excited and nervous.

I did the slimfast high Protein shakes. They were actually pretty delicious. I still do a shake for breakfast. During the liquid diet, I did 4 shakes and lived on chicken broth, sugar free Jello and ice pops. You'll get through it, just try to stay positive [/quote

My nutritionist told me not to drink slim fast cause the tend to add weight. I use the chike Protein Shakes and the vanilla and chocolate are very good.

Today is my 1st day of liquid diet my surgery is August 6th so excited ....

Congrats to you as well!

@@Cindi2014 as you stated the headache was the worst, can you share with me if you continue to have headaches after the surgery ( during the 4 weeks of of mushy/ pureed food)?

I am not hungry when I have a protein drink or make a shake with protein powder. Actually since pre op I cannot remember being hungry. Keep busy, work on a craft it something to keep your mind off food. Add doing something that makes YOU happy

I only had the headaches for a few days.

I only had headaches for a short period. They were horrible but they passed. Once I was on mushy food, they stopped.

My surgery is on Nov 19th, all of you have really helped me know what to expect. I am almost there 3 more days. ???? A little scared but you all help me not to let the unknown paralyze me with fear. Thank you.
