my date is the 21st of jan i could use a cheering section

so i decided to wait till after the holidays to start the pre op diet. (im starting on the 2nd) and im getting banded on the 21st. how bad is the pre op diet? i need to lose 20lbs before they do it.

hello friends i went to my 1st consultation yesterday. i havent booked the date of the procedure yet, but im aiming for mid January 2010. i learned about the procedure and the diet before and after, so i decided to wait until after the holidays (my birthday aswell) to start the pre diet (new years res). but i have a few questions....... im 28 years old, no kids, and like to go out and have fun....... can anyone who has had the band for a while, tell me what its like to go out and drink alcohol (im not talking about often, or black out drunk or anything like that) night out with the girls???? also any smokers out there....they say no smoking for 2 weeks before and after.....i dont no if i can quit. anyone not quit and it matter in the procedure i dont want to get sick thanks.....and many more questions to come
