I'm also at TLBC! how are you managing the pre-op diet now? do you find its getting easier or harder?

hey susansilver i am getting banded next friday and am on the same pre-op diet as you ... i know how you feel i'm soo sick of yogurt i dont even want to eat! good luck with it all!!

Hey, Just wondering what effect the anesthesia had on people after the surgery? I've never had it and just wondering about side effects, or anything else I should know! Thanks :girl_hug:

what do you suggest doing? thanks for all the help!

:girl_hug: Hey everyone, I just found out about this forum last night at my pre-op seminar, I've spent most of my morning looking around it, reading what everyone has had to say. I think this is great. Today is the first day of my pre-op diet so I figured there was no better time to get on this and meet people going through or have gone through what I am about to begin. Right now, I'm not so much nervous as I am anxious, and am worried about these 10 days of pre-op diet, I guess thats normal though. I guess just to give some background, I've struggled with weight since I was about 12 I guess you could say I'm an emotional eater I ate my way through my parents divorce and through the death of loved ones. I've always been athletic and still am, I love working out, I love the gym, I love playing sports, although as much as I work out I can't lose the weight. (although I have tried!!!) I found out about banding at the New You show in 2005 and have been thinking about, researching, and discussing it with my family ever since. I am so excited I can't wait to lose the weight and live the rest of my life, healthy and not overweight! So congratulations to everyone who is taking this step, its a huge one to take. And thank you all in advance for all the support I am sure I will be relying on you all for!

Mine is actually on the 4th! My nerves have definetly started to set in...the diet is going okay! its so hard..i love food, it's hard to see my friends all eating what they want and i have to stick to my yogurt :S but i just keep thinking about the end results which make all this worth it! how is your diet going? have you started? we can still be sisters in the band family! haha we're only a week apart!

thanks so much...:girl_hug:
