Hello...my name is Elaina. I am also getting banded on July 29th. You have to lose at least 5 pounds. What are you doing to lose that weight...which diet option? Either option, you are taking in less than or about 1,000 calories. What exactly are you eating? Also, are you writing it down? That helps a lot so that you can look back on what you've eaten in the day. Also...any excercise?
