Not sure if Im ready

So yesterday my surgeons office sent me my info for my band removal surgery. He wants to remove the band and then 6 weeks later do the RNY. My surgery to get my band removed is October 12. I have to see my surgeon on October 9th for my pre-op exam. Well at the bottom of the page after all the hospital info and when to arrive and stuff it says these words exactly.


Remember no/low carb diet 2 weeks prior to your surgerys! Do not exceed more than 20 grams of carbs a day! You may have meat, green veggies, eggs and cheese only! Do not gain any weight!

I got this email yesterday and have been worried ever since. My weight when they weighed me was 371. Im so worried Im going to gain weight. Te*****ally I dont have to start that diet until 2 weeks before surgery but I keep getting this feeling of. "you better get in all the good things you like before the two weeks starts" I know that is a horrible way to think. One part of me thinks I sholud start that diet now just to make sure I dont gain and if anything I will lose. All thats running through my mind is food! The crazy part is this is just the diet before my band removal surgery. The begining of december I will have my RNY. Im really worried I need to get my mind in the right place

I did protein shakes before my band removal last Nov and did fine. Don't freak out, it will be ok!

I had to do a 2 week low calorie diet that was all.. I know it's hard.. but when you have the RNY.. I have learned the hard way.. it's just a tool.. You can eat anything (when you can) but you won't loose weight. So you have to use it as a tool and know this is a season  you are getting into - where you will have to not eat so many carbs. Right now with my doctor he has me on 0 carbs, 70 percent protein and 30 percent veg 1/4 cub 3X a day. no snacking, no crystal, no other juices.

It's very hard.. but I have to remind myself and transform my me this is MY time .. to do it right..
