Well, after almost a year of jumping through hoops, my lapband surgery is scheduled for Valentine's Day. The timing isn't great, but I'll never forget my banding date :)
It also gives me a week off work, and I'll be heading back up to Ohio again during that week to celebrate my daughter's 25th birthday.
I'm on a pre-operative diet, and it's just killing me. There's no way I can stick to it. I have a breakfast of cereal or oatmeal, along with toast or fruit, a protein shake for lunch, and then a dinner consisting of a lean meat and a vegetable, and then another protein shake. Unfortunately, by the time dinner rolls around, I'm just starving and eat more than I should. This is less food than I'd be eating after I get banded! I don't know how they expect me to do this. :(
My starting weight on the pre-operative diet was 234.5. I'm loathe to admit that publicly, but if I'm going to share my journey through lapband, then I need to be honest.
Wish me luck!
