My liquid diet starts on Thursday. I am so worried that I somehow will not lose enough weight to get banded.

I took all these tests today. They took sooo much blood. They have to take it out of my hands because my veins are too deep due to my obesity. It was slow and painful.

Then I had an ultra sound. It was surprisingly painful as well. Man she jams that thing down in between your ribs and after having no food or water for the 12 hours before I was not in the mood. It took about a half hour, i thought i would be bruised from it, but I wasn't.

Then the x ray, which was super fast and painless.

EKG took about 2 minutes. The nurse liked my bra.

Then this breathing test which took like an hour! It sucked. So hard to concentrate on anything when youre that hungry.

I am currently on like 400-600 cal a day to make sure I lose enough before my liquid diet.

I still have ten pound minimum to lose before the 24th. Will it happen? I have heard its no problem, but my Dr. is crazy strict and has made me cry before. I have no doubt that he will cancel if I do not do this. :sneaky:

Good luck! I'm sure that your doctor would not require anything he didn't feel you could accomplish. I hope all goes well!

wow thats a good point. thanks :sneaky:
