My pre-op diet plan is clear liquid for 3 days. I wonder why the difference between pre-op diets.

I had to bump my date by a week because I forgot my daughter had a soccer tournament that weekend. So I am now booked for Friday' date=' September 13th (good thing I'm not superstitious!). I have to confess, I nearly changed my mind. I found myself thinking that I will never be able to enjoy myself on vacation again, I will never eat x, y and z again, I'm going to throw up if I make a mistake and eat too much (I have a real vomiting phobia - haven't done it since I was a child) etc. My husband put it all I'm perspective when he said "it's just food". I will still be able to travel and I will still be able to taste new foods when travelling (in small portions). food doesn't have to be the focus of the vacation. I also thought I might just try losing weight on my own again, but I have never been able to maintain the weight loss. I've been struggling with my weight for close to 15 years and I am so tired of it. I'm sure you can all relate...[/quote']

I'm the 13th too!

Also not superstitious...didn't realize what day it was until my husband pointed out.

I'm In the Denver area, where are you?

Okay, this is my first post and I'm going all out.

I saw some threads like this where people who are scheduled for surgery during this month can chat with one another. I'm scheduled for the 13th and couldn't be more EXCITED!

My highest weight was 195, I'm currently at 180. My BMI is 32, my goal is for a healthy BMI. I'd have a permo smile if the scale ever read 120

Anybody else out there getting banded this month? I'm interested in hearing your goals, wants and wishes.
