Hi I am start my preop diet on the third.. I am excited because it means I am so much closer to getting the band but I am nervous because I need to stay strong at work I work at Taco Bell.. I will bring my liquids with me if coarse just getting a little nervous and scared now.. :biggrin:

I start mine the same day! My surgery day is the 13th. I work in retail, thankfully not food. It is hard though to go through the break room on my way to the floor - or to the offices.

Have you decided on what type of band you will get? My dr lets us make that decision, although I haven't done that quite yet. Guess I better hurry up.

Morning My surgery date is the 13th as well and I'm already on day 4 of my 14 day pre-op diet. Its not so bad really...i think the excitement of finally getting these 14 days over with and moving on with the assistance of my band is helping me through. Start a project and keep busy....thats my best advice.

I AM SCHEDULED FOR MY SURGERY ON 01-13-10. IM ON DAY 5, AND HUNGRY. WE NEED TO KEEP EACH OTHER POSTED ON OUR PROGRESS. GOOD LUCK.:smile2:

Today was my first day.. its dinner time and I am starving and my son and boyfriend and his daughter are going to eat pizza.. ugh.. I want to cry.. I have been occupying my self all day..

I'm finishing my Soup as I type. According to my bodybugg program, I still need 45 grams of Protein and have 300 calories left to spend. I really don't want another Protein shake, but I think that's in my near future (as in tonight.) Today hasn't been too bad. Hubby is cooking home made french fries for the kids, the grease smells soooo good BUT I know what grease taste like, I don't know how healthy feels.

We can all do this! I am thinking of mine in terms of meals - instead of days. I can do anything for ONE meal. If I start thinking about not eating anything for 10 days.. I'm doomed.

Well I am definately feeling for you taco bell chick that would be very hard. But I have found the best way to get through this is humor. Me and my boyfriend just laugh as I eat my incredibly delicious lovely serving of j-e-l-l-o! He makes me describe the flavor in detail and how savory it is. It makes us laugh and I just keep thinking I'm doing this for me. So good luck and God bless.

AAAh thank you I told my boyfriend that I was eating pizza as I was drinking an instant breakfast we got a laugh.. Day one is under my belt.. I believe I can do this.. thanks for the support..:blushing:

wow!! working at taco bell and doing the preop diet. That will certainly be a test!

Wishing you all the best with your surgery.

I started my pre-op diet on 1/3. I get banded on 1/11. I think it is going to be a long week. I feel sorry for the taco bell girl. I love that place. I'm hungery just thinking about it. Good luck to all of us. WE CAN DO IT.

So far so good. I did well yesterday and today I made a chocolate (Protein powder) and Peanut Butter shake. The fat content was a little more than I wanted it to be, but my protein level is way up. And.. it's awesome!!

We can do this! One meal at a time. I'm very excited. I started "training" my body before Christmas, knowing that any weight I put on, I'd have to take off. Since right before Christmas, I've already lost 8 pounds. I'm very excited to see the scale move in THAT direction!!
