Excited to be having lap-band surgery

I have been approved by insurance company to have lap-band surgery. I am hoping to have my surgery May 1. Any tips would be appreciated. I'm scared to be doing the pre-op diet

    Well I'm on my total liquid starting today. But going to my favourite Chinese restaurant this Saturday. Last time their so it's going to be the exception. I don't find it as cheating as I always planned to go there last. Just before op.

    So maybe start something early but make a once off exception.

    Hope that helps. ;)
