Today is the first day of my liquid diet. I'm not feeling great but I'm optimistic. I know that once I get through the first couple of days I'll feel great. Failure is not an option.

I'm getting very anxious to have the surgery date set. The doctor's office is moving very slowly and I'm trying to move people along.

Most of my clothes don't fit at this point and the new stretch marks on my stomach are bothering me because they are itchy. I'm nervous that I won't be able to stick to the 2-week liquid diet but also realizing that I need to get control over my eating. I'm also nervous that I will overeat even with my band.:faint:
