Hi all!
I happened across this site by accident when I googled "tips to sticking to lap band liquid diet" haha. And I'm really glad I did! I've been reading through a lot of the posts and I think this will be a great way for me to learn and share during my journey. My two week pre-op diet starts today, and I have been dreading it for almost a week. Lots of people say "how horrible" it was for them, but does anybody have any tips or tricks to help those like me who are just starting? I'm sooo scared that I'll have too many weak moments and eventually give in and eat what I'm not supposed to eat. My nutritionist said that if we don't stick to the liquid diet to shrink our liver, then instead of having the surgery done laparoscopically, the surgeon will have to fully open the abdomen. So yes, I'm very very scared of that (and the extra days I'd have to stay in the hospital because of it) so I'm desperate for ways to ensure that I succeed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I WILL get through this of course, just like so many others, but I'd love to hear from those who've already been through it and might know what I can do to not "suffer" so much.
Thanks everyone! Don't forget to throw me some
