I am so glad to read others use a straw, I have not been, but I am having the hardest time and it makes such a mess to go thru a drive thru and poor my drink into something else so it does not make a mess, but than I make a mess pooring it.

I am right there with you, on all the above. I am scheduled for surgery on the 29th of August and I have not told anyone but my husband, and HR at work because I have to be off work. I can not bring myself to answer anyones questions, opnions or thoughts. I am thinking this is very personal, and as long as my husband is onboard, and I am ready than that is all that matters. I am on a pure clear liquid diet and allowed 5 no-sugar carnation instant breakfast packets, and I am half way done. I have a goal to loose 75 lbs by Monday and I am soooo close I am in the high 60's and heck I am not eating really anything I find I am going to have to start reaching out on here because I am still not ready to tell anyone close to me. I have already found I am not alone, and not the only one starving.

Today is one week on my pre-op diet and one-week to go, and I think my Dr. does his different because I am not allowed to have any solid foods, I can have Clear liquids and Jello, suger-free popcicles, and 5 packets of sugar free carnation Breakfast with skim milk each day. I AM STARVING I am scheduled to get banded on 08/29/11, a little nervous and excited all at the same time. I am almost 70 lbs down since January with just diet and excercise. Like most of you, I think and even know I can take all the weight off on my own but I can not keep it off. I have been down this road way to many time. I am ready to be the old me before husband and child, and love to go shopping again. Stay strong, and realize there are others going thru the same thing with you Starting weight 372 Todays weight 309 Scheduled for my lap band 08/29/11
