My surgery is 6/25 -- i was just wondering if there are any other WV bandsters out there. I am having my surgery at Morgantown, WV with Dr. Longhi. I would love to chat with anyone that has also had their surgery with him. Thanks!!!

I am 5 of my 14 day liquid diet and I am not doing well. I have also cheated -- not a lot -- but a little every day. 1/4 cup of cottage cheese -- a few carrot sticks. A french fry at the ball field last night -- just one. It is so hard sticking to this. I am trying so hard today to have a perfect day because i don't want to dissappointment my surgeon nor do i want to make the surgery more complicated. But I am SOOO hungry. My family has tried to help - they are doing the cooking so I don't have to. But it is still hard. So i guess now, i am second guessing whether i can do this. If I can't manage to stick to a 2 week liquid diet, can i still to the liquid/pureed/soft diet after the surgery? Was the liquid diet harder for you guys before the surgery or after the surgery?

**where is the 'live' surgery link to watch. i can't find it. Thanks!!! Glinda

Great Job!!!

Hello everyone. My name is Glinda and this is a big day of firsts for me. This is my 1st post -- i have been a looker at this site for several weeks. This is the 1st day of my 14 day liquid diet.
