I made "pizza" with a 100 calorie bagel thin, with a layer of fat free ricotta, blended pork and marinara sauce, and low fat mozzarella... Full of protein and satisfied my craving.

I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet Monday. It's 600 calories worth of shakes and 100g of protein. I can have ice pops and broth... I have to lose 10lbs or my 3/21/11 surgery will be postponed. I'm super nervous.

My surgery is 3/21 also. Met with the dietician tonight. The only thing I'm nervous about is NOT losing the required 10lbs during my 2 week liquid diet. I already eat less than 1200 calories a day, which includes a Protein shake every morning. Hopefully my body will respond. I'm also planning to walk a mile on each of my breaks at work. Good luck everyone!I'm going to be banded 3/21... I've been trying to get approved for over a year. I'm super nervous. I have to start a 2 week liquid diet on Monday. I don't like to eat broth or V8... It's going to be a challenge for sure.
