wadeg7 149 Posted June 12, 2013 Well everyone tomorrow is the day of my surgery. I have just completed my 3 week liquid diet with absolutely no cheating. I am very proud of myself as I could not imagine that I could do this a year ago. I even took my wife out to lunch at Popeyes ( it is her favorite chicken ) and I happily had my shake. She has been so supportive of me so that was the least I could do. I am ready to change my life forever. I have no fear of the surgery and have accepted the fact I will never eat like I did before. My only concern I have is that I may not be able to eat some of my favorite foods ever again, even in small quantities. If that is the case I have accepted that is the price I must pay to get healthy again. My goal is to lose 150 lbs, and I have already lost 25 lbs on the pre-op so I am off to a good start. I know the hard work is beginning, but I love my family and I am determined to live a healthier life so I can be around a lot longer for my family. Thank you to everyone who have shared their experiences to prepare me for my journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

big tex 40 Posted June 12, 2013 Good luck wadeg7! I was banded yesterday, and i feel kinda like you about my fave foods. It will be worth it to be healthy though. I stuck to my preop diet pretty well and my surgeon said it made a big difference. Let us know how it goes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
