The Eve of the BAND or 1 LAP TO GO!!

By PPPBand

· 603 views

I am 1 day away from banding...Surgery set for 9:30 am tomorrow!! I thought this day would never come and all of a sudden its here!! Went shopping for my stage 2 foods and It hit me hard that there will be some foods I will never have again and some foods I wont eat for a long time..Pretty scary but as I weigh (no pun intended) the benefits of being healthy and looking good versus eating these foods...its no contest..Bring on the size 34 pants and the size large/medium shirts..Oh Boy!!n SInce I am on liquids just for today I had my last pre banding meal last night...It coincided with my daughter's Birthday so we took 4 of her friends with us to a Japanese Restaurant and I had steak & scallops hibachi with rice and a couple of beers...MMMM it was gooood!! GETTING LAST MINUTE DETAILS IN ORDER AND OFF TO THE HOSPITAL FIRST THING TOMORROW...SEE EVERYBODY ON THE FLIP SIDE...CAN'T WAIT TO JOIN THE BANDSTER COMMUNITY!1

Peace

    Good luck with everything!! Also never say never!! Once you master this..you will learn moderation and portion control!!! I swear the only things I do not eat is ice cream and bread...ice cream doesn't like me and bread fills me up too much...but everything else I can eat but a couple of bites and I am done..so don't say never!! Make sure you walk as much as you can...keep on stylin..

    good luck!! i have only had my band for one month and it is the best choice i ever made! i am down 17lb =) everyone is differ..i have been lucky and have been able to eat anything i wanted like breads, pastas, rice, etc. but i only eat 1/3 of what i used to which is awesome!! i have made a lot of changes like fat free everything that i can, turkey burgers, 35cal whole wheat bread instead of reg white bread, fudgesciles instead of reg icecream..... you will find what works for you =) i am praying everything goes well for you =)
