Hi Im Tamara from Australia, I have my surgery booked for 2 weeks from today. Started the pre opp diet today and am already feeling miserable and missing all my fav foods. Nervous that I wont be able to do this, I have so much too loose.

Welcome fellow Aussie !! I seriously HATED the pre-op diet....especially since my best friend was visiting from the US. She's a gourmet chef. Talk about "pre-band hell". You'll survive this AND the post-op stuff, it's just a bit difficult at times, coz our head can still tell us what it THINKS it wants.

I was a bit lethargic on the pre-op liquid crap for a few days, but that passes and i'm soooooooo glad that my head hunger and bad eating habits no longer rule my life.

Now my only worries are my newly arrived wrinkles from losing weight. :scared2: What a great worry to have though. Much better worry than not seeing my boys grow up coz my fat and co-morbidities were killing me.

Hang in there girlfriend !!!! it's well worth the ride

Hi there, and welcome to LBT. The pre-op diet can be rough, especially the first three days. You just have to keep your eye on the prize, getting your band and a new and healthier you. You can do this, and you will get tons of support here to help you through the process.
