Hi Tiffany,

I too am looking forward to reuniting with the person I used to be. I just got banded last Thursday, and so far so good. The pre-op diet is a little tough, but just hang in there because it will be over before you know it. Good luck and congratulations

I will be getn mine done in March and no who hard it is going to be for me so I thought to try something different.. not sure ifn anyone tried this or not.

I am starting February to go backwards... There are 4 stages liquid, simi liquid, puree, and soft foods....;.. so I am goingn to do the soft foods, puree, simi liquid and then the liquid before the sugery so that I can train myself for the shock my system will be going thru....I will need all the help and advice anyone can give me... I am excited and scared all in one.... its almost the beginning of the end..of the old tired, frustraited,depressed and unhealthy me... time to love me again...the scariest thought is did I every really love me in the first place!!!!

Lady that sounds like a good plan I replaced breakfast with a protein shake & I'm doing pretty good so far ( on day 2) have lost 2.2 lbs. Good luck with your journeys
