oh yeah, i totally had to do the liquid diet. 5 days pre-op of all liquids..AND it was over the 4th of July weekend! Oh yes...lol I actually was half on it for 2 weeks beforehand..my choice. I still had to lose 18 pounds or he wouldn't do surgery...so i ate one small meal and drank Carnation Instant Breakfast 2x/day..and it worked! (well i also did my 20 minute tae bo video every day too)....

Keep us posted on the actual date! I will say this and it's a bit graphic..even though you DON"T have to do the liquid diet, i would do it the day before surgery...the worst thing would be for you to vomit after surgery becaus the band has to heal, and with the anesthesia you just might...at least if you do all liquids the day before, there will be NOTHING in your stomach ..i know it sounds graphic, but i am thankful for it because i was so nauseas and if ANYTHING was in my stomach it would have come out on the nurse's heads (long story...lol)
