Hi I am a newbie in my pre-op diet stage, will be banded on 2-25-08

Having trouble with pre-op diet, I do fine during day with my 2 slimfast optima drinks but at night I want to eat everything I see. Please tell me I'm not alone.

Hi Neighbor!

I'm not yet approved for lap band surgery but just wanted to say hi! Finding this site has been one of the best things EVER! All of the info and support you get is just amazing.

Who is going to do your band? I may have to come down to New Orleans to have mine, but i'm hoping i can get it done in Shreveport.

Good luck on your pre-op diet.

WELCOME!

You are not alone! Maybe try a different drink that satisfies you more.

Drink Water - crystal light - or something similiar low calorie.

Best wishes!

Thanks, It is just so hard, here in South Louisiana everything is planned around food. Dr. D.P. Schwab in Houma, La. is doing my band. He and I have been talking about this for a year. He did my nephew who lost 85lbs in 6 months and he has the same eating habits as I do. So he is convinced I can do the same But this pre-op is killing me, real hard at night, I want to eat everything in the house. But I made a promise that I will stick hard till my band next Monday the 25th
