I am getting banded on Wednesday and I am excited and nervous...... A little nervous because I found out about the pre op diet just this past Friday......any suggestions or guidance?!?!

Good luck & thanks for the update! We were banded same day & I was praying all went well for you.

How is your appetite today? I am a bit hungry......

Congratulations on giving yourself the gift of health.

Thanks so much!!!! I am super excited! I am already down 12lbs from my first appt with the doctor!!

I was re-banded Wednesday too. Not feeling too hungry yet. Still gassy though Looking forward to be one with that!

"Done" not "one"

I was doing well with my appetite til my kids warmed up thier dinner. They had seafood which I dont like (arranged menu like that on purpose). But after they began to eat my mouth started watering & hunger set in. Luckily it was nearly time for my dinner so I had some butternut sqaush soup 2/added protein. Just made it past 32 oz added water. Still trying to get back to 64oz under 3oz at a time 20 min apart. Grrr.

I feel like I am eating to much but then when I put it into perspective I might be eating 1/8 of what I used to eat

I had 4 bites of cheesy grits, 2 bites of scramblers eggs and a half of a small gladiator smoothie from Smoothie King - I know most people say they can only keep clear liquids down post op but I feel like I am doing fine - I guess it's true that everyone truly handles it differently

It is definitely harder when you have to feed your kids. The smells, alone, remind you of what you can't have. But, I keep reminding myself that this was my choice and if I REALLY want a chicken nugget (lol) I can purée one next week!
