Not stupid at all!! My family isn't too sensitive, and they've been eating KFC and Taco Bell right in the same room, and it smells delicious. When I COULD eat that stuff, I rarely did, but smelling it makes me want to rip it out of their hands!!!
But, then you sit back and realize that you've been given a gift, an opportunity, and you gotta work it. *hug* We all feel your pain!!

Topic: RE: August 24, 2009 -- Lab Band - any hints for pre-op diet?
good luck to you kristin! i could only have clears for 2 weeks prior, plus protein shakes and strangely enough, 12 oz of tomato juice. i am on full liquids now and going into week 4. so more than halfway there.
look on atkins website and south beach. those are both low carb diets. atkins more so. that was one of my many diets and i lived on eggs, meat and cheese. string cheese is good. low in fat.
you will do great! good luck

Topic: RE: August surgery checkin..Everyone post in this string about your surgery.
I had a lap band aug 3rd. recovered quite quickly. the diet is killing me though. going on my 4th week of liquids. no restriction so just have to be patient. but running out of that. trying to be positive!! I know this is the right thing but i cannot believe how hard this is.
A lot of gas, but not painful, just noisy!! hehehe.
postop appt on thurs. hoping to go to mushies at least, but that is all pureed food and for 4-6 wkks i think!! somehow i will make it thru!!!
