Hi everyone

I am on my second day of my 10 day pre-surgery diet

I woke up this morning and said to myself,"oh it's saturday chinese tonight"

Yeah right, how much food is such a part of my waking thoughts

I can just feel a scream starting to form in my gut

I am afraid I will go crazy when I can't eat what I want

I went to a support group just to meet some other banders and they assured me yes, a scream may be in order, however, it wont be as bad as I am imagining

Well I am thankful to be able to post even if it is just to cyber space

Hi Jettjaxx

I'm starting day 3, and it's no walk in the park! But I'm determined to keep going. I'm on optifast, how 'bout you?

Hi guys...

Well, I'm on day 14 on full liquids (creamy Soups, Protein shakes, etc.) and I'm here to tell you that you can do it. It'll be hard at first but YOU CAN DO IT.

If I can do it, anyone can do it.

Glad to know there are others out there

Today makes day 3

I think the worst part has been the headaches

I am adding coffee to my regime in the morning

The withdrawl is killing me

I am drinking Advent carb control-chocolate is the best-no after taste for me-vanilla was not bad just an after tast I did not like

I am also eating 4 cups of yogurt, 2 sugar free fudgesicles and as many sugar free popsicles as I want

My surgery is schedued for the 21st

How did you get that little counter scale on your site?

I am pre diet 195 and want to get down to 120-130

I am having diabetic trouble and just can not seem to loose this weight

Where are you located in the world?

Thank you for writting please keep in touch

I can really use the support

Are you pre surgery or post?

I haven't had to do the "pre-surgery diet"..........I wonder why??? My surgery is scheduled for Aug. 24, and I am currently at 256 pounds!!

Hi Jettjaxx

If you want to put a ticker in your sig. go to tickerfactory.com, follow the directions, copy the url and paste it into your sig.

Hi Surby,

Lots of docs don't require a pre surg diet. Don't know why some do and some don't.

Congratulations! to all of you on your upcoming surgeries. You WILL BE successful on the liquid diet! Best wishes to you all.

I'm 10 months out, but I wanted to let you know THAT same reason played a big part in my decision to have the Lapband surgery... I was always "thinking" of the next snack, meal, etc. And, I have to say now the trouble is that I don't get in enough calories. I've been telling myself I would do a better job and start to list everything. Same with exercise, I need to do better. We never stop learning.

I still eat a BUNCH of popsicles, I usually buy the no sugar added 35 calories each.. but, sometimes those flavors get boring so I buy the premium fruit and they're only 50 calories. So, even if I have two it's way better than a shake or fattening ice cream.

So, as your new Texas friend - I want to offer you 1 more encouraging cheer! :cheer2: YOU CAN DO THIS!

Today is my 1st day of the pre surgery diet. I have a splitting headache, and cannot take any asprin, or motrin. I wish I wish I could have something filling. I feel like an addict!
