Hi all! My name is Dina!

I'm getting ready for my surgery on Monday the 2nd of March. crossing fingers that all goes well for me!

although i see most people doing the diet for 2 weeks, I just started my liquid diet. last week i did atkins and this week liquids.

i origianlly was going to do gastric bypass... long story short...i freaked out when approved and decided to band.

so when i made the appointment to switch over to the lapband, he had no issues and asked that i lose as much weight as possible. and try to liquid one maybe two meals a day.

So last week i did liquid breakfast and lunch...and ate protien for dinner (but it wasnt low fat :smile:)...and i goaled that since i was getting use to not eating as much, that i would do the liquid diet this week.

i'm now day 2. Its hard....but i'm hanging in there...my energy is low and i'm not sure exactly what i'm feeling... its different than hunger...kinda like...um...i dunno? empty?

But....my weight at the end of December was 350. i'm not sure how much i have lost...i know i've lost a bit because my clothes are loose now.

i hope that my "last " efforts to liquid diet this week aren't in vain. I'd hate to wake without the band.

But i wish you all luck and can't wait to get to know y'all better!

Hi Tex, I'm in post op now.. have been for a few days and I'm finding I've had great energy minus the soreness and stuff. I'm thinking it's my Vitamin. See if you have an organic food place and get yourself a vitamin with really good absorption. Mine is liquid, multi, and get a B complex too and see if you have more energy..
