Roughly... Hello!

I am scheduled for my banding on February 9th! I am excited but anxious at the same time. I did not do as well as I wanted my first couple of days on my full liquid diet. But, as I start to see the weight come off... it is driving me to do what I have to do, what I need to do!

I have read so many other's posts and it is amazing at the differences in pre-op diets that are being recommended. Mine a full 14 days, others, 7 days, some a month, some get veggies and bars some only clear liquids... but I think what would be really good to see is a program to help with behavior modification even before the liquid diet. I thought I was the only one out there about to chow down on some lettuce or asparagus... It is ok though... we will make it and hopefully help others!

Welcome aboard real! The liquid diet is important for your pre-op, because it makes it easier for your doctor to get to everything and it makes your liver shrink for that short time.(easier surgery) You'll make it as you go further in your journey.....you will make behaivor modifactions.....you have no choice. For me it was well worth the sacrifices and I wish you all the luck in the world. Congrats!!!!!!
