I just had my wonderful Easter dinner. A choc. protein shake and boiled veggies. Yum Yum. I really am doing ok. I don't feel like I missed anything. It is just sooooo different than any other Easter dinner I have ever had in my 49 years. I hope everyone pre-op had a wonderful day not concentrating on food for once.

I hear ya - I am on liquids todays - being banded tomorrow.

Today's Easter Dinner:

One cup chicken broth

two sugar free popsicles

One cup of Water

I am in the same boat, 47 years - never had an Easter like this!!!

I am excited though and it will be so worth it!!

congrats Karen. Easter dinner: velvety potato soup, thinned and strained 4 oz total. Never had an Easter dinner that filling. Wonderful! Banded 3/18.

You guys are all doing fabulous! You should pat yourselves on the back for sticking with the diet even on this holiday!

I'd give anything to be where you are today. I cannot wait to get banded so that I can get on with journey.

Pat yourselves on the back for sticking to it. It's not really about the food anyway but what the day respresents.

I'm five days post op......

broccoli cheese soup pureed to within an inch of it's life.......

perhaps a vicodin for dessert...........

Went to a block party, everyone was eating big time, all the goodies...... But I'm two days pre op, so I didn't have a thing, came home and had my last optifast shake. tomorrow I'm on clear liquids only, then the big day!
