Hi everyone I am a new member here and I am in the last few days before surgery. It has been a long hard road (7 months) to get here. As of today I have 9 days to go and I can't wait ! But this diet is killing me. I am having a real hard time with my will power. I have NOT given in ! But have been come too close. Please let me know I am not alone !:blushing:

I cheated and didn't get my band the 1st time! Hang in there; it's worth it! :blushing:

Hi! Hang in there. I too have 9 days to go before surgery and this diet is really testing me. I had to go to a friends graduation party yesterday and it was catered by my favorite BBQ restaurant in town. It was soooo tough standing there with my bottle of water watching everyone eat and smelling the food. But I did not give in. Just remember it's all about the head hunger. We can do this!!

You are alone.... You will make it through this time. Think of ways to distract yourself, get out and move, be as creative with the liquids as possible. There is a wonderful pay off at the end. Keep us posted on how surgery goes. You have come a long way to get this far, try not to let your tastebuds get in the way! Good Luck. Heather:thumbup:
