I am on day 5 of my pre-op optifast diet. I have found this weekend quite difficult as I'm vertially eating nothing and just surviving on the shakes. I did make some vegetable soup which was OK - not my usual yummy soup but it was a nice change. I'm really enjoying discovering this Lapband forum and reading about other peoples experiences. I am so excited about the prospect of getting this weight off. I have to have my gall bladder out at the same time as my banding as I have gall stones - hope that doesn't complicate things. Counting down...:devil:

Good luck. I'm going to be on a 2 week pre op diet soon, my tentative date is June 22. I'll actually be in Disneyland the entire week before surgery...what a bite@! But, something will always be coming up, so the time is now, I'm approved and I'm ready. Keep up posted and remember, when the hungries get really bad, take a nap! Can't eat while you're sleeping!

Good luck guys.. I am 6 weeks post-op, and had my first fill this past Wednesday.

This LapBand thing is tool to help form the new way of life..

Enjoy the journey.. and, good luck getting to Op day...
