I sure am glad that I found someone to take this journey with. It will be nice to compare procedures and help each other out, even if we have to be cheerleaders. lol I have done every diet also. and the same thing up and down like a yo-yo. :thumbup:

Being that you are getting banded on the 30th, you are on the pre-opt diet? How are you getting along with it, I have been fine with mine but my sugar kept dropping to low. So I have already had one medication cut back my sugar medication. yipee!!!:rolleyes2:

I am October 4 also. The first day of the liquid diet was tough. Day two hasnt been as bad, although I woke up feeling dizzy. After a Protein drink the feeling passed.

I am glad surgery is on a monday because it will be easier to keep me on the diet that last weekend. I am sure this weekend wont be fun. Atleast during the week work is a good distraction for much of the day.

Becca glad to have you join us. You an I will be going through day by day together. The pre-opt diet is not to bad. I'm drinking a carnation instant Breakfast in the AM and lunch time I drink a slim fast, and dinner I have bought WW smart ones so I don't have to figure out my calories.
