Today was the first day of my 2-week pre-op diet. Totally focused. Did well all day even though I got really weak and tired about 2:30. Did OK this evening until my husband cooked a T-bone steak. Oh-ug-hoh-my. That smell is doing a number on me. But I'll make it! I guess I'll be at this site a lot trying to keep motivated. :thumbup:

Oh no, Carol! I haven't thought yet about how that might be, the first time my family cooks an awesome dinner and I'm on liquids...

If all goes well this week, I will start my pre-op diet on Nov. 8th, and be banded on the 23rd. I'm excited but really nervous. Turkey broth for me for Thanksgiving! Did you get a surgery date yet?

What kind of diet do you have to do?

I was Protein and veggies, it wasn't so hard. If it was all liquids I would have had a harder time. Good luck.

I started today also and right now this evening is the hardest for me. My husband has agreeded to cook dinner for himself and my son before I get home from work which will be very helpful. I have BSN bananna pudding flavor protien for my evening snack when he has his bowl of ice cream. I just keep telling myself I can make this work.:wub:

My date WAS 11-11. But complications set in. I've been so bummed out, I haven't been back to this site.

Do you mean solid proteins? My proteins were liquid, but the steamed vegies did help once I added them. Then all came crashing down. I'll write about it in a new post.

My journey came to a screaching halt. More on that in a new post. Hope all is going well for you.
