Well, I have been on my pre-surgery diet for almost a week and have to admit I am starved. I am so motivated that it hasnt been that bad. I have dropped ten pounds though realistically I know most of it is probably water. Heck if i could do this long term, I wouldnt need the surgery. I have surgery a week from tomorrow. Still having the same feelings, very excited and scared. Hoping this works, hoping I have taken off enough time to heal (only have one week of vacation) but each day brings me closer. I wish the weight loss would be this quick after the band. How cool would that be at ten pounds a week? I would be in ONEDERLAND in no time. ha. Wish me luck guys. Seven days to go.........:cursing:

Girl, I know what you mean... I am a little frantic too and I havent received my approval yet. I am going to subscribe to your blog, just so we can share and I can be updated on your progress. I do blog on here, and vlog on youtube...CoCobandster, of course! And puhleeze pray for me, as I am already praying for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pray that your surgery goes well.. I'm sure it will. You will loose weight the first week after the band, I'm sure.. because you will only be on clear liquids for a couple of days, so you will have no choice.. then after that you'll go on full liquids, so you will loose weight.. Trust me. It's been 5 weeks since I've had my band and I've lost a total of 23lbs.. I would have like to have done lost more, but I'll take what I can get for now.. I go for my first fill on June 11th. I only took a week off and I was able to return to work with no problems, just a littl soreness but in time it went away.. I think the walking helped so make sure you move around for at least 30 minutes a day....You will be fine, be encouraged.

The pre-diet was actually the hardest for me....headaches & hunger. But, I lost the most weight during that time, great jump start ! After the band I lost very little until after my first fill....has been slow and steady ever since. You will do terrific !!!! Good luck !

I have to start my pre-band diet in about a week. my doctor wants me only on 3 slim fast shakes a day. I'm definately not looking forward to that. I'm afraid I'll be so hungry and I'll be a meanie. My surgery is going to be around July 14. I'm nervous and excited. I'm having a lot of anxiety about the whole thing. I went to the dietician today and that was enlightening. I really enjoy reading the blogs on here. All the advice and experiences you guys have had and talked about helps a lot!
