I know the feeling.  I had my surgery just before Thanksgiving 2006, and I had chicken broth for dinner while the turkey passed in front of me.... But I made it through.... You will do it and you will not regret it....  Good Luck with your surgery.... Hope you have a speedy recovery....

 

HUGS,

 

Believe me, you will be able to eat real food again - well, nutritious food.  You may not be able to eat junk food again - but that is not what your body needs.  I dump on sugar, but there are plenty of sugar free treats that I can eat in moderation for a special occasion.  Too many carbs make me feel bad - so that is my reminder not to eat that way.  I just love all the food that I can eat - lots of protein - eggs, cheese, turkey jerky, tuna, etc.  
 
Can you drink tomatoe juice on your liquid diet?  Can you have sugar free pudding?  I thought the stuff on my liquid diet wasn't bad, I just missed chewing.   :-)

Hi there!
I remember you quite well. I used to go patrolling all the boards - MI included after having my RNY done in thestates.

Rather than Lapband have you thought about Weigh****chers?  We become like everyone else with our weight, our addiction comes back/emotional eating and all that stuff. Sometimes doing a back to basics program helps you refocus on the prize.  Some swear by the 5daypouch test but I'm not a fan. 

Good luck!
Dawn

I know if I can do a liquid diet and not cheat on Easter weekend I can do anything well so far so good I have not cheated at all May 2nd is mt date so far so good.. Poor hubby had grilled cheese for Easter dinner. I worked in the yard all day

I had my surgery at Blodgett in April 2010..and my experience there was great.  I had a private room there as well.
