Oh that makes me feel better. I was reading on how many folks seem to get through thanksgiving on their full liquids....glad i'm not the only one. Doubt I can get ten pounds off but I am sure gonna get back on track. Just have to plow through the next six days and then SURGERY DAY! Ya know, it wasn't even that good......

Need advice from you experienced bandsters: I was doing great on my 2 week crash prior to my Dec 2 surgery UNTIL thanksgiving! My favorite menu of the year. Now just feeling like a failure. Need to get my motivation back up to crash diet again for six days prior to surgery. Kate

Hi Ann. I'm Kate. I am a newbie too. My surgery is Dec 2. I'm excited about getting to it, sad about giving up my friend "food", and mad cause I blew my 2 week crash diet at thanksgiving. Trying to talk myself into getting it together and try hard this week to get a few more pounds off before the big day. Did you have to do the crash diet these past two weeks? I'm assuming that you live near Fargo, ND. I'm in Minnesota. What thoughts are you having presurgery? Kate
