I don't think it's going to be so bad at all. I have to have 3 shakes, and 2 protein bars...plus I can have unlimited no carb veggies, 3oz of protein, and one small fruit each day. I start it on Friday. I can't believe in just a couple of weeks I'll officially be banded! I'm so excited, and beyond ready!

Cynthia, I finally have a a partner in crime to share my band-day with....

Hey Miss V. It is good to know someone else has the same surgery day. Where are you from? Do you feel ready?

I've had family home all weekend, and I did fairly well until they wanted me to make caramel popcorn. I LOVE caramel and I succumbed to a few pieces of the lucious smooth caramel that was left over from the popcorn. I always make too much and if I were to pour all of it on the popcorn, it would get soggy. So we have a plate of caramels that I just can't avoid. But then again, I haven't officially started the pre-op. Still have another week before it starts. So I could look at it this way--this is the last time I will enjoy those silky smooth delicacies and I deserved to eat it one last time. Man I've gotta change that attitude! I really am looking forward to the big day and I will be good. I have to. I want to feel better.

Congrats to all the upcoming bandsters!! I can't wait to get banded on Feb 4. My doc has me on a 7 day liquid that I start on Monday.
