pre surgery questions

For me, this was tough. My dr told me I didnt have to do a pre-op diet. I wish he never said that. I had all intentions on losing a couple pounds before my surgery.

Then I got last supper syndrome and ate everything in sight afraid I would never have it again. I ended up gaining 10lbs before surgery...only having to lose it again....so, If you can control yourself try to start following the band 'diet' now.

The best I could do to stop drinking with food was not to make a glass. Then after dinner I would clean the kitchen or take out the trash, then by the time I could sit down to rest, my half hour was up and I could drink something.

I do order a drink at restaurants and sip on it before my meal though. I havent noticed that drinking before eating causes me to become hungry faster.

Good luck on your surgery!!
