Ugh. I completely get it. I've been on the Pre-Op diet, as well, and my sister, brother, mom, and dad all eat junk food, but healthy with me at dinner. It's tough seeing all those sweets and garbage they buy. But as I've learned from past on-off-on-off diets, I just find recipes that are sweet, low-calorie, and don't make you sick to your stomach stepping on the scale.

I love pickles! The only problem? They make me so thirsty... which makes me hungry!

I'm not talking sweet dills. I'm talking big, green, sour, delicious Persian pickles! Yummy!

So, I figured out a solution: drink a glass (or bottle, etc.) of water with one pickle. I know after you get the band, it's against the rules to eat and drink at the same time, but I'm on the Pre-Op Diet, so I guess for now it's alright since pickles will be my once-in-a-while well-deserved treat.

Listen to me, I've been on a diet for three days and I've already lost it!

Fills make your band smaller? Huh. How big do they originally make the band?
