I'm not that young (33) but I'm having surgery on monday and tonight I'm having my last glass of wine before surgery. Good luck! Nicole

Well, so far so good. I can't believe how easy this pre-op diet has been for me even though it is a fraction of what I normally eat. On another note, Not to be gross but I am so bummed that I am going to have my period on surgery day. How embarressing it is going to be....I was told that there will more likely be a cathader....OH God, I just shudder at the thought. Wednesdays diet: Shake yogart protien bar shake lemongrass chicken lean cuisine zucchinni No gym but I walked the mall 4x:clap2: Thursdays Diet: coffee protien bar shake south beach bar tuscan chicken lean cuisine with zucchinni yogart I burned 450 calories at the gym today!!:clap2:

hello everyone, Nice to meet you Crisygal and Deb! When is the reunion at BI? They invited me but I didn't think I would go but now that I've met you all on lbt I'll try and see if I can make it. Nicole

I'm going to try to record what I eat everyday because I heard it really helps with weight loss. I feel a little thinner. This has not been too too bad. If I keep myself busy and leave my real meal untill the end of the day, its doable. My husband is a little bit of an obsticle for me though. He bought me a huge box of gourmet chocolates for Valentines day......What was he thinking? I love him anyways.

Hi all, just wanted to see who was in the same boat as me. I'm getting banded on the 26th of feb in Boston Ma. I'm sure there are others that are going through the same fears...questions...etc. Let me know!

Sherry, I hope your reflux problems go away. Are you able to take xantax ( I think thats how you spell it?) It works wonders for my husbands heartburn and he gets it really bad. Good luck and don't worry about the unfill...just keep positive and maybe hit the gym more often. Nicole

Wow, Crispygal you look awsome!!!!! I only hope to do as well. Keep up the great work! Nicole:clap2:

I don't know....life without rice and beans? How will I ever make it?

Well, tomorrow I start the pre-op diet. Please wish me luck. The fact that I haven't told many people is going to make things very hard for me but I'll do it. If anyone asks why I'm not eating, I'll just say I have a stomach bug. PLEASE........WISH ME LUCK!!
