Horrible date for my first day of Preop Diet. All of my coworkers have brought in leftover candy from Halloween. Chocolate everywhere! Then on top of that, it's also my first day of smoking rehab. But I'm determined to push thru... Surgery date 11/12/14. So excited!!! and impatient... Reading everything I can find, journaling and taking notes. This journey initiated over 2 years ago, started the process and backed out thinking that I could lose and keep the weight off without surgical intervention. Well here I am again with an additional 30 lbs to lose. Good luck to all of us November Banders!

Good luck and hang in there!????

Best of luck to you! You can do this!

I hear ya I spent the day working hard and ive been starving this evening. I've been drinking water like A mad man

The 2 week preop diet was the hardest thing I've done in my whole life!!, lol. But I did it and lost 20 pounds. I backed out from surgery the first time too thinking I could do it on my own. My family and coworkers insisted I could and I listened. Boy was that a mistake. Read as much as you can on the lap band. Watch videos by Dr. Paul O'Brien on youtube. You got this. Good Luck.
