Best of luck to you, I'm being banded on Aug 11th as well. I am doing the liquid diet and trying to look ahead to success. All the best to you from across the pond!!! You go Manalrajab! Neumeby50.... starting wt. 324 current wt. 317 Goal wt. unsure, probably 150 or less!

I'm in the same boat and it's a real bugger. I am sipping on Centrella brand chicken broth. I am so sick of sweet stuff like carnation instant breakfast and slimfast. I did have some sugar free jello and that was fair. I am just a foodie I guess and that's why I am in this situation. I try to tell myself it will be ok, I am doing well, havnen't cheated but smells are getting to me because I have an active household. I kicked up some V8 with mexican spices that were'nt too salty and it was not too bad. When is your surgery date?, I am finding that I'm on here a lot when I get hungry and it focuses me to the real reason for going on with this in the first place.

Congratulations Chap, I believe you are doing the right thing. I was denied twice and there was always some thing blocking my way, then...out of the blue the insurance Co. sent a letter of approval. I am scheduled for Aug11th and am on a liquid diet now. I feel lousy but I have to keep busy as my family makes dinner. The smells are driving me nuts. I believe that God helps us all the way and He is directing this path. I have also been heavy all my life and have a great husband who loves me but wants me healthy. You will be in my prayers and please keep me in yours. thanks neumeby50

Hi Jerry, I am in the same place you are. My surgery is Aug11th and I'm sick of this diet so far but keeping positive. Sounds like you're doing the on-line support thing too. I hope it works, I am a new member as of today as well. All the best.
