Hello everyone, Today was the 1st day of the rest of my life!! Today I started my liquid diet and I must say it was not to bad. I know its not goign to be easy but I am ready and willing for a great outcome. I have 50pounds to lose and I am self pay. Anyone else around the 15th? (bummer no spell check?) lol good luck everyone!!

My band date is on the 12th. I'm also self-pay and I have 75 lbs to lose!

I just started my pre-op diet today (2 days early). It's basically Atkins- high Protein, low carb. Part of me feels like I got lucky with my pre-op diet, but I'm also worried that I won't be prepared for my 30 day liquids-to mushies diet after my surgery!

Good luck with all of the pre-op stuff. We're almost there

Have started my liquids on the 2nd and surgery the 11th. Not to bad this far until I smell something really like but I will do it. I am determined. Have 100 lbs to lose . My insurance is paying but I had to do the 6 month waiting and glad that is over with.

I'm on the same track as you. I'm losing fast on the Protein Shakes. Lost 5 lbs in one day. See my surgeon tomorrow for preop consult.

I get banded on the 15th too!

I have 40kg to lose, which is 88 pounds.

I'm partially self-pay and partially insurance. It works differently in Australia

Good luck with what's left of your liquid diet. I have to do a VLCD Optifast diet for 7 days only. I'm happy with that - I can eat veggies which are my favourite foods anyway!
