Gosh, I was so nervous also going into the surgery this past Tuesday. I have never had an operation before and had tons of anxiety. Being on this site before the surgery really helped calm my nerves.

From what I can tell is that if you follow the Doctors orders to the tee, things go much smoother. I am still on liquids and looking forward to real foods on Dec 25.

The GREAT thing is I get full after 4 0z of food. That is fantastic for me, because in the past I would never get full. I would eat dinner leave the restaurant and come home and eat more. I never was satisified. Now I am satisfied

I am on Day 5 and things are getting a little easier now. No more gas pains, taking my Vitamins eating my Soups. I look for to 2013 and my weight loss adventure.

Thank you for everyones post, they not only inform me, but inspire me!!

I'm very excited too!! I'm being banded on Monday! I have to be there at 11am I have myself really psyched up for it and believe that there is ONLY success. I've been on a liquid diet since Thursday and even that's going well. My only question is if Butternut Squash Bisque is considered a liquid

Congratulations to everyone!! I can't wait to start reading everyone's success stories!!

Ugh. In a weird way I wish my pre op had no solids at all. Dr allows one solid meal a day. And for 5 days I have been perfect! Today, not so much. I mean a week ago this would have been a great day, but.... I had two spoons of my toddlers Mac and cheese that he didn't finish and two Dots when we were making a gingerbread house... So frustrated with myself. I logged it all and have to remember that a week ago it would have eaten three boxes of Dots, all of his Mac and cheese and a dozen other bad things in just one day. Hoping this is the only set back I have!!!

Don't be hard on yourself!! You ate very little and it certainly isn't a set back. Had you sat down with a large pizza then I may have a different reply. You stay strong! What you're about to do is incredible!!!
