December 7th bandsters

I am getting banded on December 7th. I have mixed feelings about the whole process but I am determined to see it through. Haiting the liquid diet!!! The shakes are so awful and I am finding it very difficult to choke them down. I have resorted to one egg a day in place of one of my four shakes. I also don't mind the chicken Soup but beyond that I struggle. I am wondering what happens if you don't follow the diet completely?

I am trying to be really strict on the diet since the date is getting closer. I don't want food in my system when I am trying to recover nor do I want to have problems being constapated after surgery with a sore stomach.

My surgery is in Spartenburg, SC. I think once we make it past the first two weeks, it should hopefully start to get easier.

I am also getting banded on December 7th! We need to be friends, ladies! My doctor isn't as particular. He says two shakes a day and then one sensible meal. I can only do one shake and two sensible meals. I am a teacher and I get extremely light headed if I do not eat. I am getting really excited but I have some major negativity surrounding me. I hate the negativity because it is making me more nervous. I wish it was Tuesday right now!!! I'm ready for a major life change.
