I am hoping that starting today (with 9 days left) my doctor will be ok with it because of the fact that I too do not have an extremely high BMI and my liver was not to fatty he will still do it...I am praying ???? it is not to late bye if he has to postpone it another week I am ready to commit thanks to all of your feedback here!!! I am so grateful for all your words of wisdom????

Update...Spoke to doctor today and fessed up he said if I am diligent on my diet he can do it and the best part I am approved so hearing this is giving me motivation....getting excited

Glad to hear the update. You got this!!

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING FOR NINE MORE DAYS! You can do ANYTHING for nine more days!

Thanks to all of you here to but it is not only 9 days.....it is a new lifestyle change and learning how to train myself to eat to live instead of living to eat

You can do it! !! I'm getting so excited. ... My band date is Monday. Ready!

Please keep me posted about your day

Lynz, you got this!! If you want it bad enough you can do it! I am happy with all the advice and encouragement you got here. It is tough but it must be done. This is the first challenge to a new lifestyle. How you handle this challenge sets the bar to how successful you can be.

I got a real wake up call yesterday for sure...I either had food poisoning or a stomach virus...was so sick (still sick but not as bad) it made me think this was a sign to be and stay serious about sabotaging myself with food....right now I never want to eat????

Well, best wishes to you! You can do it, if you want to. Have you had a psych visit? My surgeon's office requires one, also a nutritionist. It helps to find out why you are self sabotaging. .

karen ,,,,what i loved reading on your post was this

*You can do it, if you want to*

If you can't stick to the post op, how will you adjust after surgery? What I did was do one week of my post op well before I was approved just to see if I was ready to be fully committed. And I did it. There is a reason the pre op diet is given, I really hope you can overcome food temptations. Best of luck.

Date was postponed to May 29th for other reasons...I am now on board with my pre op diet and teaching myself to chew chew chew and eat slow????????????
