My first day was hard. My liquid diet is 1 Premire Protein for breakfast and 1 for lunch. Dinner I can have soup. Lots and Lots of water in between. This was very hard for me because I was used to just eating anything and everything. My 2nd day was better not by much but I know as the days pass it will be better. Today is my day 3 and I'm feeling great! Jumped on the scale this morning and lost 4 lbs. I know its only 4 lbs but I'm headed in the right directions. Keep Strong and best of luck to you!!!

this is great! keep tracking all of your measurements...you will need them when the scale doesn't cooperate!!! good luck to you:)

Definitely sucks. There is something about having this surgery that makes people think they have rights to say this stuff. I've lost nearly 30 pounds in 2 months and my mom actually said I was lying to her about the weight loss because she can't see any change in me. If she is serious and does start bugging you about choices, gently explain to her that you have a food plan you are following and if you are having a treat it means you worked it in and it's ok.

OMG, Dr. Nurmil was my surgeon, too. Don't you just love everyone in the office? They are the best! I was banded 8/19/2011 and have found it to be most rewarding. I have lost 90 pounds and still have another 50 to go to reach my goal. Best of luck..

My date with the band is the 20th:) and I'm a TR patient as well, good luck and keep updating.

Good luck with that. Can't say that I'm looking forward to two weeks of preop diet but I am sure looking forward to the operation. So I wish you all the luck in the world!

@Minnie20...at my last visit they were tyring to give me an August date for my surgery to avoid the vacation. I kept telling the office manager that I worked with 7 year olds and wasn't sure that 2 weeks was enough. I really want an early June date. I don't think they understand how active we are in the classroom, especially at the beginning of the year. I also pointed out that it was rather silly for me to have surgery at the end of summer when I had all summer to recover. The doc agreed and wanted to schedule earlier but the office manager wasn't so sure. They must have made a deal because I got a call for June a few days later. Yeah!!!! PS: The office manager is awesome and was only trying to get us to follow procedure. I'm so glad she made an exception in my case. I'm bringing her flowers from my garden this afternoon.
