Need some ass kicking!
I am booked for surgery for the 1st of March. I was to have started the preop diet on Tuesday adn its soooooo difficult. I did well all day until I went shopping for the restarant I run... i NEED to do this...and I am stuck... its all in my mind!
I understand why I have to do this 02 week vlcd I guess I am getting the lapband... cause if this highly restrictive diet was something I could do easily I would not be 260!

Namaste! Peace! And may blessings abound!
So hard if you run a restaurant! If it is low carb or low cal, then maybe just fill up on veggies. If you have to do liquids, hope someone else will offer help - i never had to do that.
But whatever your diet is, it is not just to lose weight or to get you used to a style of eating, it is something your doc believes that you must do in order to make surgery safe.
So - big kick coming to you over the Atlantic! This is nit a choice. DO IT!!
Best wishes, Kate
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
If I had to do it all over again...I WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED THE PRE-OP DIET TO A TEE! I was to do the diet for two weeks, went to my "smarter then the average bear thinking" and only did if for a week. My doc saw me the afternoon of the day of my surgery and told me that I was down almost 1 1/2 hours longer than I needed to be because my liver has not shrunk enough for them to remove the hiatal hernia that was there (I was told about it weeks before the surgery) and trying to move that liver to get the band where it needed to for optimum placement. Follow the diet, it helps in the long run.
Highest weight: 212.8 Current weight 135 Lost 77.8 pounds
I am as of right this moment... on my best behaviour... I did well today... strayed just a touch, we were stinking crazy busy which kept me from induldging too much. ( an apple, 1 toast, one shake, 2 diet cokes...then another shake...)
I am not back in my kitchen until tuesday so I am hoping by then to have gotten into the swing of things... my house is bare of temptation and my food(s) are all set for me. I plan on working out like a feind the next couple of days to offset my late start to the fluid diet... not sure if I will recoup much but its better than not doing anything and can only help. Plus it will keep me occupied. tread mill and elyptical tonight, then a sauna, then I work tomorrow... I work at a landfill... not in the kitchen :) maybe the same tomorrow night. Then a really really long hike on Sunday. I can't wait really!
THANKS so much for kicking me... it was truly such a cool thing to come home from work to hear from people who know what i am going through.
Love to you all!
( and betty... love the pics. they made me Laugh out loud!
