I also am about a month out of surgery (6/24) and am totally in the same boat as you. I feel like i am eating to much, not nearly as much as i used to, but more than i probably should. I dont want to stretch my stomach or casue a slippage, i am constantly worried about this issue. But still can not win the battle over my portion control problems.

Yes, I felt sad. I am only 7 days post op, and for the first 4-5 days i cried everyday. It is becasue we have lost a best friend, food! Usually after we have done something important in our lives, food was there to comfort us and then reward us. This time food does not reward you for making a major life changing decision. I still feel sad, but these next two weeks will hopefully fly by, and then i can begin the game of what can or cant i eat.

Have you already been banded?

OH MY GOSH!!! you took the words right out of my mouth- I am on day 4 and i have 10 more to go, it has been a real roller coaster. I never realized how much food rules my life, and I just want to get through these pre-op liquid days so that i dont regret my decision, but it is so difficult. I cant wait for my band (jun.24)-

I am on day 3 of my liquids diet-and i totally understand wanting to sleep so you dont think about food. Day 1 and 2 were far worse than today. I have 10 more days of this, so I hope i can stick it out- I just have to remind myself to think about the bigger picture!

This liquid diet is much harder than I thought. I feel like I dont want to go anywhere or do anything, becasue I dont want to be reminded of all of the things I can't eat. Was the liquid diet this hard for everyone? I just keep reminding myself to remember the bigger picture.
