Well I'm new here been looking around for a week now. I went to my pre-op final appointment on Monday and was told to start the diet as soon as I can. Today is my wedding anniversary and I wanted to enjoy one last meal out so I will be starting the diet on tomorrow. It's mostly low carb and clean eating. I can get a 1000 calories a day. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday September 23rd after I return from Hawaii for my anniversary. I will be clean eating while on vacation but it will be worth it to have back my self confidence that I loss with the added pounds.

Awww good luck to you! And maybe I'll reward myself with a trip to Hawaii after my one year mark.

My pre op liquid diet started today.. my surgery is on the 24th sept.

My surgery (lap band) scheduled for sept 30. Starting clear liquid diet monday for 2 weeks with optifast. I am a little nervous since i work full time at high energy job. Today cleaning out cabinets of all junk food and empty calorie items. Donating to local food bank. Goodbye old life. Hello new life!

We can do it!!

Now found an awesome doctor. Started praying for God's will and yipeeee lap band approved. So i feel very peaceful that everything will b ok. Waneta r u having lap band????

No I'm have the sleeve done. I was thinking of the band but the surgeon recommended the sleeve for me.

That preop is no fun but you'll make it! Congratulations on taking the plunge! This time next year you can go back to Hawaii 100 lbs smaller!

Btw, my vow renewal will be in a year on Galveston beach. It's a very sentimental location for me. I am so excited at the thought of a regular sized dress! God bless your journey!
