First of all, I always come and look at your posts, and you guys are amazing and very supporting! I just decided on on signing up lol...

So my surgery is set for April 1st, an April fools band lol..

I started my pre-op diet on Monday, and it's ALREADY starting to get to me. My doctor wants me to do 3 Protein shakes a day, with one main meal of 4-6oz of chicken or very lean meat. 2cups of starches, 2cups veggies, endless salad with fat free dressing, but not drenched in the salad. I thinks its 2tsps not sure :sneaky:.....

TodayI went for pre-admission testing and my scedule was totally MESSED UP, I was so mad. So I messed up my diet but let me tell u what i did.

11am-dannon light & fit yogurt lemon ciffon (yummers)

2:30pm I had a handful of carrots, diet green tea snapple which i always drank and love!!!

4:00-5oz chicken,lettuce,light mayo (a tsp,) honey dijon musturd (tsp,) and a half a whole wheat wrap.

That's it so far, but i don't know if because i added the mayo and musturd i added to much fat......helllpppp

Okay, Danielle! You can do this!!!! This is the biggest test of your life right now. Can you follow rules?? Of course you can!!

It's hard right now because you still have your big loose stomach and hungry is coming from your head... but you've got to hang in there and buckle down until April 1st. After the surgery, yes, you will still have to follow rules, but it will be easier because your tight new little pouch will become louder than your brain, and you will obey it. ha ha ha ha

Did your doctor say when you were to have your one main meal? Before surgery during my pre-op dieting, I decided that since I'm a morning person, I'd have my big meal in the morning. So if you have the option to choose when, maybe decide what part of the day you feel most hungry and plan that as your meal.

April 1st will be here before you know it... and you will feel so much better the night before surgery knowing that you followed directions. You can do it!! Hang in there and congratulations!
