I start my pre-op diet tomorrow for my lapband placement on 7/29/15. I'd love some meal plans and/or ideas on how to fight the urge to cheat. I'm really nervous, but even more excited.

I'm starting my pre-op diet in less than 2 weeks and I'm also super nervous!!

I go Monday for a meeting with a nutritionist. I was under the impression they would be giving me a list of foods I could eat.

I've been on my pre op liquid diet for about a week now. Surgery July 24. When I get the urge to eat I would grab a Popsicle or Jello. To be honest though food kind of smells disgusting after a few days liquid. Not even hungry anymore!

Good luck!

First few days are hard but then it gets so much easier. I had never been an overnight patient in a hospital before and took the idea of surgery very seriously. The purpose of the pre-op is to shrink the liver to make it easier for the surgeon to place the band properly. That was enough to keep me on the straight and narrow. Plus I knew that, for once, the pounds I lost on pre-op were ones I'd never see again!
