lynzz Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi all, OK, so my band date is April 8 (WOOHOOO!)..... I just started the pre-op diet --trying to survive on 3 protein shakes a day is a cruel joke...hehe ( . To top it off, I quit smoking cold turkey. Today is day 3... no food, no cigs......I don't think I will make it!! It is touch and go right now... Trying to stay focused... wait, why am I doing this again? Help!!! Lynn P.S. Is anyone else getting banded on April 8th?? I am making the journey by myself and could use a friend that has a secret stash of food and cigarettes for me....hehe.

Hello Lynn, I know it's hard, but you'll do fine!! > I kept reminding myself that I'd be able to eat again and I needed to stay focused. I reminded myself that this is really a SHORT amount of time compared to all the years I spent fat, discusted and pretty much in hiding. I've never smoked, but I do consider myself addicted to food, so I can understand. Try to keep yourself busy.... you have less than a week!!! Best wishes, Darlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim2BSlim Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hello!! If you have been been quit smking for 3 days then you are doing awesome!! They say your body doesn't crave nicotine after 48 hours so I think you can do this! Good luck with your surgery! It is a breeze! I am on my first week post-op and it definetly is a life changer. I am in shock from the post-op liquid diet now. Ugh! We will survive..and be skinny in the process! > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be strong, you will make it! I wish you good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
