Wow, you're so close!

I'm not a preop dieter yet with 8 or so weeks until my surgery date. It feels like I should be dieting or something though. Feels kinda weird not having anything do to but wait :lol:

Best of luck to you!

Yup - I remember being in that position of just waiting....:notagree

What helped me was becoming active here on the boards and reading and learning all I could to have realistic expectations of what was to come.

Don't worry the time will pass and before you know it you will be on the pre op diet as well!

Starting to get a little nervous, but also excited.

Good for you! It always boosts my self esteem to see that scale go down. Now I am hoping once I am banded it will stay there!

today was a bad day for me. My head was hurting and i couldn't even get the yogurt to pass my lips.

On the bright side, I have driving lessons on Monday :)

6 more days

I'm am on my 4th day of Optifast. It's going pretty good. Had a bad headache to start out with that seems to be subsiding now. I'm getting very excited about the surgery, just want to get it done so I can get on with it. I have read so much about banding that I really, really, really want to live it. I'm sooooooo ready!

I've noticed in the last couple of days that I feel released by food. I feel like it no longer has me in it's control. Great feeling!!

:)

i started diet april 24th...so that means i'm day 5. I've been fasting for the past 4 days, because i find it easier to not eat than eat another bite of yogurt or cottage cheese. I am SO hungry, i could eat anything, i'm basically sleeping to not be hungry...cant wait to be banded!!!!!!

It is very important to maintain your regular pattern of eating. Remember you are trying to start a healthy way of eating post banding.

I lived on the yoghurt and Jello because I couldn't look at the CC. Eat 3, 4 or 5 yoghurt for each meal if you want. snack with the jello. If you really need it you can have some boiled or baked chicken. You must eat though. After all this time you don't want them to cancel your surgery do you.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
