    Hi Kimmy, I live in Melbourne too. I wouldnt beat yourself too bad. everyone is different so just take it day by day. Good luck!
  5. I am finding my portion sizes getting bigger as well. I was banded on 11/10 and my first fill is the 8th. Good thing I think:)
  6. I was banded on Nov 10 and I can now eat almost anything just alot less of it. Chicken has been ok and I had a very very thin ribeye (not the whole thing of course) I get my first fill on 12/08. I believe my band is unfilled at surgery
  7. I am 42 and hadnt had a period in the last 4 months but I did get one the week of surgery
  8. Funny you say that about the floating between 2 lbs. I ahve lost 17 lbs since pre-op but have been stuck between the last 2 lbs for 6 days now. Glad I am not alone

    I cheated once or twice to and got yelled at here. It happens, no big deal unless you just blatenly blow it. Just move on.
  10. Hey mom2two, If the rice went down and you felt ok then enjoy! It is completely different for everyone.

    Scared nervous

    I am scared to....my surgery is Monday the 10th. I have a detailed diet for afterwards but I am getting nervous.
  16. Dont mean to sound stupid but there are a bunch of threads about constipation and I am having the opposite problem during this pre-op diet. Is that normal?

    Anyone cheat on preop diet?

    Thank you both, I have looked in the past and havent seen them but I will look again, Typically if it has more than 7 sugars I dont touch it but thanks again.
  18. You to are lucky, I have to do a week of liquids pre op:( I live in Melbourne and almost had to make the trip to Jax to have surgery but then had a turn of events and I am having it here on Monday. Good luck to both of you and take care.
  19. Thats good to know I am not the only one.

    Anyone cheat on preop diet?

    I havent found any sugar free yogurts and the ones I do find that are "lower sugar" or "high in fiber" still have more grams of sugar than I can have.

    Anyone cheat on preop diet?

    RESTLESS, as I can appreciate your reply I wanted to further explain my thinking. I am NOT making excuses to cheat, quite honestly the toast is just so I can stomach my Diabetic Meds. My docs diet calls for 3 servings of yogurt a day which I cant have due to the sugars so I substitute it with 1 piece of wholewheat toast. I guess I am really not cheating but just tailoring it to my medical needs.
  22. Thanks, I was a little worried
  23. I am glad to hear you all are well!! I am amazed at how gifferent the diets are. I get full liquids on day 2 after surgery. Good thing because after this week of clears I am HUNGRY! My surgery is monday the 10th.
