Hi everyone,

I am new to this board, and I have found a lot of useful information here. My surgery date is this coming Tuesday. I have been waiting for this day for quite some time now. My doctor has put me on a liquid diet for 7 days prior to surgery. This is sooo hard to do. My family has been very supportive in my decision to have this done, so I do feel fortunate for that. I'm anxious, nervous, excited and second guessing my decision as the time nears. I really want food... now.

Lori, you are doing great. Just keep focused as to why you are doing this for yourself. The liquid phase will pass. I've been banded 15 months and love it. Good luck.
