Getting Banded 12/21

[allheart 0]

Hi everyone. The minutes are ticking down - I'm so excited about getting banded on Friday. I've been on Optifast for 2 weeks with a few slips like a salad here and there. Clear Liquids are going to be a little hard to manage at work on Wed/Thurs - any ideas? Thanks

All Heart,

Every time I got hungry and wanted something during the clear liquid time I made myself drink a bottle of Water. After that, I told myself that after banding you can't eat for a half hour after drinking so I had to wait. After I set my mind there time just seemed to fly.

My nerves kept me from thinking too much about it too. I was too excited/nervous/jumpy/terrified to think much about eating.

Try to stay busy and away from the smell of food. Smell is so hard.

Good luck and we'll be waiting for you on the other side of the band.

Steph
