Its getting real!!!

I start my liquid diet tomorrow.

I'm so excited and nervous and a whole lotta other emotions.

It's starting to set in. The whole reality of the situation. I'm getting banded. My life is changing.

It's pretty exciting stuff.

    I started my liquid diet yesterday, still adjusting and craving real food! Haha congrats on your journey!

  • You guys are starting a great journey. Take measurements of your body as you are likely to see changes there even when you don't see them on the scales. I wish I had done this. Good luck.

  • Congratulations be strong is not easy the liquid diet, today was my second day I am hanging in there!!!!

I wanted to cheat tonight, but just kept feeling guilty.

It's pretty crazy how fast everything can change.

I'm moving forward! This is it!

Thank you for the support. I need it!

If you feel the need to cheat, maybe you are not ready. I never cheated because I was afraid of the 'what ifs' etc. Also, if your liver is not reduced in size they will not band you. That is another reason for the pre-op diet of liquids etc.

Good luck.

I am getting banded November 4th! How about you?!

I wanted to, didn't feel like it.

And the what ifs were what made me stop.

I have to do the liquid for 5 days only so I'm good.

I've been craving a bagel all day, definitely considered eating one but decided not to and to sip on some broth instead. I'm happy that I decided not to cheat on my diet, I would have felt incredibly guilty if I had!
