I'm in freak out mode. My liquid diet starts tomorrow. Surgery is in 14 days. I did all of my preop lab work, EKG, X-ray today. And all I can think is I am going to starve the next 2 weeks 800 calories a day and no band. Are they trying to kill me before surgery??! Ahhhhhhhhhh

How did you to today? Stay strong. You can do this. I'll be following close behind you soon.

I was soooooooo hungry when I got home I had a couple of handfuls of almonds. Now I feel guilty.. And work wasn't bad but my stomach wouldn't shut up..... I guess I need to add another shake. Is this diet designed for people that don't move around alot??? I am constantly on the move I feel like a zombie....... I am going to start wondering around the healthcare asking for brains.....

I've been super weak too..... Don't feel guilty but don't do that again! definitely try to increase the Protein. That is the only thing that shuts my stomach up.

How are you doing, nursemedic? Wknds are hard! I woke up so hungry but I've managed. How many more days do you have? Two more for me.

Today wasn't bad... I have a really supportive husband even though he is 6'4 and 200 pounds he says he will get fit with me (as I roll my eyes) he is doing shakes and has been eating all the "good food" at work and not around me. Tomorrow I work my part time job which is on an ambulance for 24 hours.... This will be a challenge I will keep 3-4 shakes in the rig that way I'm not tempted.

Ohhhh 10 days and counting!!!!!

Ok I'm ambulance today I'm strong I can do this. I WILL NOT CHEAT. I have my shakes in the rig. I will stay on track. I am 7 pounds down. I got this.

I start my pre-op diet on Wednesday, so I am getting nervous! I get 3 shakes a day (250 calories each) and am allowed 250 calories of low carb veggies (so no potatoes, carrots, etc) each day, for a total of 1000 calories. I am hoping I can stay mentally alert. I sit at my desk all day, but I need my brain to function! I also worry about headaches the first few days, since I am not allowed to take any pain killers during the two weeks prior to surgery.
