My last diet ended just like every other diet and I gained that weight back. Since then I have been preparing for the lap band and today is Tuesday May 10th day 1 of the liquid diet. Surprisingly I am NOT HUNGRY. I realize for the first time how many times in a day I would have eaten just because I was bored. I am pretty proud of myself , even cooked dinner for my husband and daughter w/o a bite. I am thankful for all the viedeo blogs I watched I watched on youtube, I got a lot of good tips right down to the popcicles I should buy. Day one down 13 to go.
