Having trouble sticking to protien 2 wk pre-op diet, pls help

My lapband is scheduled for 4-28-08. I having problems sticking to this diet. I have made some changes: I have increased my exercise, I am drinking 64 ounces of water, and I have cut back on my portion sizes. The reason I am having trouble sticking to this protien diet is because my cycle is due on 5-1-08. Currently, I am bloated, cramping, my cravings for sweets is out of control. With all this said, my bmi is a 37. My sister who had the band in 1/08, said that she found out that if your bmi is less than 40, the doctor, really just want to to maintain your weight and not gain, pls help!
