Starting over!

So, my surgery is in 10 days. I made the mistake of seeing the surgery being done in a movie a few weeks back... I am now nervous.

I am currently on day 5 of my pre-op diet, and doing pretty well. Seems everyone's diet is different.. mine is low fat, no starch, no sugar, no caffeine, no fruit. Essentially I'm on veggies and grilled fish and chicken. My only slip up was on day 2 with a coffee. I have successfully quit smoking and drinking, and lost 5lbs in the last 5 days.

Hoping the next 10 days fly by... I'm excited to get the band, but I'm just finding it hard changing essentially my entire life all at once.

Why is it that everyone's pre-op diet is different? I'm on day 13 of absolutly no food. I'm only able to drink the protien shakes and no calorie liquids. It's been really tough and watching the fiance eat makes me want to quit!!
