Hi, new to the site. My surgery is set for 6/30/11. I have been on a liquid diet for exactly one week and have lost 16 pounds. I have been pretty dedicated to the diet, but I would be lying if I didnt say I have had a few bites of food here and there. Nothing too bad, but a bite of chicken one day, a piece of cheese another... its so hard when you are preparing food for the family!!! I dont think I am too nervous about the surgery, I think I stress most after hearing peoples stories about going in for the surgery and waking up with no band because of their enlarged liver! I think that would be the worst thing in the world. How about everyone else, how is everyone doing on their Pre-Op liquid diets???
