My surgery is on Apr. 11. Started liquid diet today! It's not terrible, but I will be happy when it's over.

I will be banded on April 8th. I am a bit cranky today........probably due to the very limited calories over the last 2 weeks. Better days are sure to be on the horizon.

I have to show up at 8:00am tomorrow. I have been on clear liquids today which sucked, nothing after midnight. I am nervious. hope its the right choice. I went shopping for food with my wife today to a great market and started thinking and I going to miss all the fun of eating and cooking.... anyway... 18 hours and counting.

I am so hungry for hot tea with peanut butter bread.....ughhh. Weird things that u crave. I think white bread is the one thing that I will miss the most. But atleast I do like wheat bread.

Hi all! Happy bandweek!

I am scheduled for surgery Thursday April 10, but have to call the day before to get my surgery time. I too am nervous. I am fine one minute nervous the next. I am having a little bit of seperation anxiety from the food thing for the future, ha. I have been on high protein since last thursday and feeling hungry today for some reason. Good luck to everyone!
