Now I don't have to start my pre-op diet until the 7th of May. I go in on the 13th to have my blood work and every done prior to being banded on the 15th. I have made up in my mind that I am going to start my pre-op diet on this coming Monday. I think my major struggle is eating out of being board... or when i'm upset... So i know I am going to have to really focus on what triggers my eating..I am not going to do the last supper type of thing, because I think that will make it worse for me to do the right thing... I am ready to start this new life of mine... please keep me in your prayers and i will do like wise and keep you all in mine.. Nothing but success, and great things i hope for you all....

I don't think that it is crazy at all! It sounds like a great way to take control. Good for you.....besides the more pounds off the easier your surgery is going to be.

I don't think it's the least bit crazy. My Dr. doesn't require me to do a pre-op diet at all because my BMI is under 50. I still started one on Wednesday. (Being banded the 14th.) I asked him about it at my appt and he said to have at it as they're highly considering making it a standard thing at the office anyway.

That is what i have read, and I want it to go as smooth as possiable. I want to wake up and my Dr say wow Katrina I have never had a band go on that easy before....Do u think while he is in there he can get a vacum and suck some of the fat out or just pull it out thru the insion in my tummy...lol.. just kidding..
