Hi all, yesterday i attended my pre op nutrution, excersie and surgery seminar (3.50 hrs) - after leaving that class i felt overwhelmed with everything the nurse had spoken to us about. She was very informative about pre op and post op nutrition. i didn't realize that i would need to take vitamins everyday to get the proper nutrients (not really a big deal, but a small detail that i missed). i learned a couple of new things but mostly what she spoke about i had already learned from this site. (thanks guys ) - once i left the class, i started questioning if this was right for me? would i be able to stay committed to this new life style? i even started questioning whether or not i was doing it for the right reasons?? today i am dealing with what i think is anxiety of possible failure:confused:. i have the support i need and i know i will be okay, but i am very nervous at this point. My band date isn't until 09/08 - so i still have time to prepare - i start my 2wk pre op diet on 08/24 - am i normal to feel anxious?

YOU KNOW IT DEPENDS HOW BAD YOU WANT THIS. ONCES YOU PRAY AND ASK GOD LET HIS WILL BE DONE ITS O.K. HE WOULD NOT TAKE YOU THIS FAR TO LEAVE YOU. I WAS BANDED ON 8-17-09 DOING REALLY GOOD. IM STILL ON MY FULL LIQUIDS I GET CONFUSED AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN TO EAT BECAUSE IM NOT HUNGRY. BUT YOU MUST DRINK ALL THE LIQUIDS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD. ALSO MY DOCTOR MADE ME FELL GOOD ALSO HE IS REALLY SUPPORTIVE, AND HE'S A PEOPLES PERSON, AND THAT REALLY MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ALSO. MY DAUGHTER WILL BE GETTING HER BAND IN ABOUT TWO MORE MONTHS. I WANTED TO DO IT FIRST SO I CAN HELP HER SHE IS 21 AND REALLY WATCHING ME AND SHE SEE HOW COMMITTED I'VE BEEN. ITS HARD RIGHT NOW BUT NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY, AND ACTUALLY IT HAS NOT BEEN HARD. HOPE THIS HELP
