Pre-op appointment today!

I have soooo been looking forward to today!!! I got my binder with all my pre- and post-op info (I love binders, any type of office supply, really), and I know it will be attached to me at the hip for the next 6 mos and maybe more. I can get a little obsessive about things I'm excited about; I've read 5 books about the lapband/WLS in the last 3 months. Anyway, I'm just a little concerned about the pre-op diet. Friday, I start a 10-day 30 grams of carb/day, 100+ grams of protein/day diet. Then, I do a 4-day liquid diet. I can be pretty disciplined in the beginning, but Atkins was one of the hardest diets for me to follow. I'm such a carb-addict!!! Thankfully, I have a coworker/friend who's doing all this with me, so it will be easier to be accountable at work. I think I'm going to use this blogging thing to be accountable otherwise. If anyone has any tips/encouragement to offer, I will greatly appreciate it!!!
