Hi,

Just checking in to see how the January 12th bandsters are doing on their pre-op diets? I am doing great! The first 2 days were very tough for me, and then the third day I did cheat ( it was New Years Eve and I was at a party and had 2 slices of meat and a glass of champagne). I got back on track and have lost 10 lbs ! It is amazing! I am so excited for 1/12!

I will admit that I can see how some people might question why to go through surgery when losing so well on the pre-op. I do know though, that I couldn't sustain this diet, and of course I'd gain everything back and then some for good measure the minute I went off the pre-op. So, indeed, I am looking forward to the band, but am happy to be starting at least 10 lbs lighter than I was last Sunday. Wonder what I will lose this week?

This week will be different for me, as I will be back at work. The temptations are more there, but, I am busier there too.

How is everyone else feeling? Can you believe that this time next week we will be less than 24 hrs away from surgery?

Can't wait!

Hi,

I'm scheduled for Jan. 27 but I started the liquid diet Jan. 1. It is tough to do at work. I carried my shake to a restaurant with a co-worker today. No temptation to eat but there's a lot of days to go! I'm sure I'll stay strong though.

I'm starting to get a headache, which I think is from dehydration. Good reminder to drink Water even though I'm trying to get out from under the work that piled up over the holidays.

Good luck on the 12th!
