You have to have a lot of will power because my inlaws live Adel and I dont know what I am going to do next June without all that good cooking. Congrats on the weight loss. I havent weighed myself since Monday.

I got banded almost a week ago and still in a little pain because I got a hernia repaired also. So how much weight have you lost? Kim

The pre op diet is hard for the first couple of days but you can make it. I lost 8 pounds but on my birthday which was the day before my surgery, I did treat myself to a healthy meal from Red Lobster. I had my surgery on the 17th and is still sore. I also had a hernia repaired so most of the pain is coming from that. But everything will be okay just keep your mind set on a goal.

I had my surgery on Monday the day after my birthday and I had a hernia repaired. I just ate some real food today which was some egg whites, but I constantly drink all day but I have to force myself to eat. Well I hope I will talk to someone soon. I need all the support I can get.
