Im scheduled to be banded 1/27. I started my pre op diet which is basically the atkins diet on 1/13. I can have 20-30 grams of carbs a day. By day 2 I thought I would faint.....not hard to tell im a carb lover! I found I was a little hungry so I started on my water that is not my fav at all...but I knew I had to start it and try to kick the diet cokes. I found crystal light (wild strawberry)....I LOVE IT!!! I actually got up to my 64oz of water and I find that I would rather have water than anything else. Also.....if you have water with lemon...squeeze the lemon in the water and add splenda......yummy lemonaide! I have actually lost 8lbs..well that was wednesday maybe more by now. I sure hope i don't wake up and they say my liver was not small enough because I will be devastated. Thinking of everyone as they go thru their journey!
