well my surgery is less than a week away, scheduled for february 16th !!! Yay I am so excited, before yesterday it was all i could think about! however my aunt passed away whom I was very close to, so now I kind of have that clouding up my brain.

Through all of it I am just trying to stay on track!!

At work today my boss asked me to get him lunch, man, that was hard. I am currently on my pre op diet. So I had to walk in to one of my favorite fast food joints and order him like the worst thing you could order. I am obviously strong because I did it, but definitely hard. I guess i can be positive about that and think well I have lost 7lbs in 5 days due to the fact that I am changing my life away from those bad choices the old me used to make. I'll claim VICTORY on that. Just felt like voicing that.

Great job! I know it can be hard, but you are strong (as you've just seen) and it will be worth it.

Keep it up!

I feel your pain. I have surgery 2/20. I had to sit in a lunch meeting with 25 coworkers eating burgers and fries while I sipped my hmr shake. I wanted to cry. I made it but whoa was it rough.

Sorry for your loss... I am having surgery the same day as you are, I added you as a friend so we can stay in touch and support each other if you want. You are doing great and will have much success because you are focused. Let's keep in touch.... Teresa

good luck...my surgery is also on the 16th...I can't wait...I have been on liquid pre-op for 2 weeks so I am ready to eat something I actually miss fruits and vegetables. your boss is a d**k for making you get him lunch.

Good for you! Im on the 3rd day of my pre op diet and I'm so hungry but I keep telling myself I can do this! Ima receptionist so I order everyone's lunch as well, and it's it's at my desk until they get it it's torture lol but in the end stickin it out will be worth it. I miss eating what I want but that made me unhappy Cheers to our new life! I know I won't regret it

Jennxaz, while you're on your liquid diet are you allowed to drink vegetable juices? i havent been banded yet, but I love juicing and was hoping to get my vegetable nutrients in by juicing kale, cucumbers, carrots, etc.... They are delicious!

Not during preop I couldn't have vegetable or fruit juice too much sugar and acidity
