So less than a week after my banding on 12/4 my family had a Hanukkah party where I sat there watching everyone stuff their face with potato pancakes and other delicious things. I s made it through sipping my water with MIO and broth. Today I am going to see the Hobbit. I'm sitting in the theater smelling popcorn and feeling relieved that I was able to sneak in my Nalgene of Crystal Light. I'd like to hear some other stories of overcoming temptations during the liquid phase.

I took my bottle of liquid into the movies with me as well. Smuggled in my purse!

Bee Good!

I had an office lunch to attend. Took my broth... Not fun but I managed.

I had an office gala/dinner party to attend. I knew it was going to be tough, so I made up a reason to be slightly more than fashionably late. I arrived as they were clearing the tables, and in time to order a cup of tea instead.
