Getting banded on 9/20

After about 5 months of going around in circles my surgery date is coming up quick. I was 440 at my highest weight. Since I am self pay the Surgeon wanted me to lose weight before my surgery. The cost of doing it in the out patient facility was almost half of what it would have cost in the hospital. I have been on a strict high protein, low Carb no sugar diet since July 27th. I have lost a total of 35lbs and need to lose a few more before Monday. I am getting a little nervous about the surgery, and the weeks/years following. I just wonder am i going to miss not being able to eat. I guess time will tell and maybe by then I won't need the food like I feel like I need it now.
