i am scheduled for mar 23rd. have been on the liquid diet for 1 week and have 1 week to go before surgery. i keep thinking if i can do this liquid diet on 600 calories a day why do i really need this surgery? is it worth it? i am having some serious doubts...how do you feel about everything that you have done?

any advise would help

hi i was sticking to the diet for about a week. I was thinking the same way u are, and then I slipped and ate stuff that i probably shouln't have, and then it all became clear why i need the band... its easy to stay on track for a week, but its the long term that we are all striving for. without the band there has not been and never will be a long term.

Hi,

I did not have to do the liquid diet prior to surgery but, all surgeons are different. I too had doubts even without the diet. I was so scared I was doing the wrong thing. Now, I'm SO happy I did it. I haven't had my first "fill" yet but, that is coming on April 1st. I'm slipping up as well and starting to eat the wrong foods and I truly need that "fill" to get me back on tract. You're doing great! I think it's more nerves talking right now.

it is all nerves, and to top it all off I woke up this morning(3 days before surg) and both my kids have colds. So now my focus is to try and stay healthy for the next 3 days... im totally freaking out, i really am... im sanitizing like a crazy woman, but i guess if i get sick it'll be postponed and boy i will be really depressed. say alittle prayer for me that i stay healthy!!!

a fill will totally do the trick to get u back on track, you'll do great, the weight will fall of you!!
