I don't know how i am going to do it, especially at work. Everyone is always ordering out... BUt good for you for sticken to your plan...makes me wonder why we can't stick to a plan when their isn't surgery to motivate. Why can't just being healthy be the motivation. Obviously these are answers that i don't have and have not been able to lose weight any other way and god knows i have tried...oh, by the way, are you not allowed to drink broths? My doc, is letting me drink broth with the protien added to it as well as the shakes and anything else that is liquid that i can add the powder to.

This is my first post. I am scheduled to have surgery on 05/10. I have been having the same issues, with wanting to go to places that I don't think i would enjoy after the surgery. My doctor and his team puts everyone on a 30 day practice diet and excersise plan prior to the pre-op appt. This has helped me focus on how to eat when after i am banded. I have had my slips ups like the chinese buffet maybe twice, but everything i eat and drink and excerise must be logged and if the team doesn't approve of my efforts well then the surgery gets postponed. Now i am waiting for May 1 when i start the pre-op liquid diet and am a little nervous about that, but my thoughts are of having a successful surgery so i guess i have no choice. I have some supportive friends and co-workers who are going to do the liquid diet with me.
