Hi everyone. I am so excited about my upcoming surgery. I am now on my 10 day liquid diet and I am doing fine but every once in a while I feel if I could just lick a spicey taco or something salty I would be okay. But then I stand up and feel the pain in my knees, think about the cpap machine I use, think about the high blood pressure I have and say to myself, this diet won't be forever but losing weigh will and I can survive this.

Any support is appreciated.

Thanks, Deb

Hey you have taken a big step and I wish you all the success in the world. For most of us it's not what we eat it's how much. This surgery helps control the size of food so you can control your size :thumbup: I have made taco's there are ways you can do that lo salt and lo fat or even ff. get yourself some healthy cookbooks even lap band cookbooks out there Good luck if you need any one to talk to just private message me.

Deb, I have surgery on the 27th and start my liquid diet tomorrow! You made me laugh about licking the taco! This will be very exciting! Keep up the optimism!:thumbup:

My surgery will follow yours by one day as I am scheduled for the 27th. I am so bored with the liquid diet I could scream though. Now I amuse myself by combining jell-o flavors to see what I end up with.

I hope all goes well with yours and that it is as life-altering as we need it to be. I hope to post an ad in one year that says "Used CPAP machine. No longer needed!!!!!"
