I am on day 9 of my preop diet and my surgery is a week from today. I have never wanted a Peanut Butter and jelly sandwhich more than right now. I just want some carbs!!! And it's my birthday and I can't even have a piece of cake.

I just wanted to vent a little. Thanks for listening. :smile2:

Happy Birthday.....My birthday is 8/14 and I'm not having any cake either. I will be banded on 8/17. Just hang in there, I am going to do my best as well.

Happy Birthday to You!!

Hang in there! Sticking to the pre-op is important. I admire someone who'd schedule it during b'day time. Me, I'd sell my soul for b'day cake, with lots of roses. And lots of calories.

Good luck to you!!!

TPG

Awwww Sarah! I feel for you!! Let me say this first however,

I'm sorry that this birthday is such a bummer for you! I know how I'd feel if I had to go through the liquid hell on my special day.

But just think how skinny minny you will be on your day next year! Remember nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!

Thanks for all your support guys!! I got through it ( I took a shower instead of making a PB&J).

Graywolf, I love the "Remember nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!" Haha, so true!!

It looks like I shouldn't be complaining now. After reading some of the other posts in the forum, looks like the hard part is afterwards!

Hi Sarah, my little band-twin!

I am so hearing you babe... I am at the end of day 8, and I swear to GOD all I could see in my head all day was a cartoon picture of a piece of steak dancing around saying "I am delicious! eat me! eat me!" ... I am SO over having no meat, no carbs, no starches, no sugar, etc etc... for gods sake, someone feed me PLEASE.

Okay, now that I've gotten that rant out... yes... we must just stick together, remain focused, our special day will be here in no time. We can do it, Sarah!

Happy birthday to you :-D
