From: Banding on Feb 3rd. pre-op diet on!

We are on the same path my friend. I just joined this site today. I started my liquid diet on Monday and I am scheduled for surgery on the 7th. I am truly sorry you don't have the support you need at home but I think you've come to the right place for that!

 

Glad to see youre with me on this journey. I am very excited about it. I thought the liq. diet would be terrible and how could I ever be satisified with it, but the protein shakes help a lot. I have used a Tbsp of sugar free jello added to the powder for some different flavors. Check with your dietician. you may be able to have cottage cheese low fat and jello. it is pretty good. :)

    Not sure how all this works, so if I don't put things in the correct place please excuse me ahead of time.

    I get my Band on Feb 3rd. Very Excited. But I don't have much support at home. Husband has NEVER been over weight at all and doesn't understand why I can't jus shut my mouth and stop eating... In need of support. Thanks ahead of time!:rolleyes:

    Oh my, you sound like me! My husband is a marathon runner and thinks that if I'd just run marathons, I'd be fine . . . lol!! He eats desert TWICE every night, but I am constantly starving myself with my weight yo-yoing up and down. I know he's right about the exercise, but I've never been a runner, no matter how thin I got. He's hyper and can't sit still though.

    Bottom line: People are different!!

    I will be banded on Feb 9th, so we are on about the same track!!

    Nice to hear from You Mrs Mustang! Glad to have someone close to the same boat especially where the spouse is concerned! I came home a few nights ago and my husband had ate a 1/2 bag of regular potatoe chips and an entire small sour cream dish with onion soup mix in it - like home made onion dip. i would have liked to throw it in the trash.. but I didn't..B)
