Going Mental!

Day 6 of the pre op diet and I've been so good. Not a drop of extra food. And today... nothing ..YET. I am going mental. I just want to stuff my face. I think it's the biggest irony that they ask us to do this diet first! If this was something we could all do no problem then wouldn't we have already done it! Geez I'm just ranting. I am feeling so deprived right now and want food so bad it's irrational. I have to cook for my 6 year old daughter and just want to snatch that food away from her and eat it! The thought has even occured to binge and purge. Gawd. Any help with getting past this mind set would be great. I'm on the verge. :thumbup:

Maybe just make sure you are keeping your 2litres of water up per day.

Other than that, stick to it, it will work if you stick to it!! xx

I am almost 2 weeks post op and have gone 27 days without a bite of food. I am most proud to say I haven't cheated once in 27 days. The only way to survive this pre and post op period is to drink protein. Atkins, EAS Advantage, low carb high protein drinks. Even try www.pwlc.com and click on nutritional supplements. check out the drinks, orange and strawberry they are great. the hot chocolate is fabulous. low carbs and high protein and very filling. expensive but healthy and worth it. you will not be hungry!! Good luck and, again, don't cheat. This is the time to practice compliance. Get in the right mindset. If you can do this, you can certainly be complaint when you are living with the band. Start right and end right doing exactly what you are told to do. This is my big chance to finally accomplish a goal that has been a burden all my life. Stick with it and good luck
