My BIG Day is tomorrow!!!

My life will change tomorrow morning at 7:15am when I am scheduled for my LapBand surgery. It has been rough the last couple of nights.....I feel like I haven't slept because I lay awake and all these thoughts run through my mind. I am scared out of my mind about surgery but more so of the "unknown." Reading stories and posts on here has helped me a lot and all I can do now is leave things in Gods hands for he knows all. When you have a free moment please say a prayer for me that everything turns out well and I have just as much success as all of you! God Bless.

I NEED HELP.....or at least some advice

Ok....so I am 1 week now post-op and I'm STARVING and the smell of food is making me nuts!!!! Has anyone else during this stage ever put food in their mouth (tonight my hubby made bbq chicken so that is what mine was) chewed it up to get the taste and flavor and then spit it out? I know it's gross but I did this tonight and afterwards felt guilty for doing it. I kept thinking to myself that I just want a taste..... Today was my 1st day in the last 3 that I didn't have that "chicken bone" feeling in my chest and therefore was able to drink a bit more. Am I going crazy or are these normal things and feelings?????:closedeyes:

Almost 1 week post-op....

So I had my surgery and all in all things went great! Very minimal pain the day of surgery....the next day a bit more pain but the 2 days after that I felt really good. However, the last 2 days have been awful! I feel like I have a "chicken bone" stuck in the middle of my chest! This is causing me to not want to drink anything and I'm afraid if I don't drink (especially my protein) I will never feel better! If anyone has suggestions on if this feeling is normal and what I can maybe do to releave the feeling I would be very grateful! (I have gotten some good advice already but it doesn't hurt to have more options!) Also, I find it extremely hard when my family is eating and I can't. I want so badly to just put some "real" food into my mouth that it's really starting to depress me! I don't go until 8-19-10 for my follow up and I have promised myself I would NOT weigh myself until then....however there is still that part of me that wants to know if anything is working for me yet. Well blessings to you all and I hope to hear from my "LapBand family" soon! :closedeyes:
