To say I am excited is an understatement, but the nerves are also starting to set in!!! Yikes!

Good for you! How exciting! 

I have no advice for how to surviving the pre op diet, I am in the middle of it myself... But it will be ok, I think I will survive.

I ate a little extra protein this evening and a little bit too much cucumber, because it was so good - and I feel uncomfortably stuffed. Same as yesterday. It is amazing how little you can eat! And I haven't even had the surgery yet!

What does your diet plan look like?

Oh, man! I sure have difficulties with sweet stuff, I'm more of a salty chick. I eat a couple, no more, of olives in the late afternoon - seems to balance all the sweetness. Why can't shakes taste like bacon???

Today is my Day 6, I feel deprived and try to sleep a lot to make time pass.

I have noticed that smells bother me more too - it's like all my senses are focused suddenly.

I'm so excited that I have finally been given the go ahead for my Lap Band surgery! My rebirthday is the 9th of Nov!!! I will be starting the pre op diet tomorrow and am a bit nervous about starting the replacement diet but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it in mo time!

Does any one have any advice for surviving the pre op diet? Or any advice as to Lap banding in general I would be totally up for some helpful hints and suggestions!

Bring on the new me!

Nicola

My surgery is on the 8th as well. I'm really nervous too!!! Good luck with your surgery!
