I've got less than a week til my banding! I can't believe it's finally here. My doctor requires a strict liquid diet, nothing but low carb high protein shakes, and all the sugar free- non carbonated- decaffeinated drinks I want for 2 weeks preop. Boy am I dragging and drained. But oh so excited about my surgery! My journey has already began with a 17 pound weight loss from the liquid diet. Can't wait to see where it ends!!!
