Hey hungrymel I most definitely feel you!! I am also being banded Monday the 7th. During the first week od the pre op diet I think my rollercoaster of emotions hit the all time high. I even broke down & cried because I didn't think I'd be successful at the band. Reading all the posts these posts about people only losi 25-50 lbs in a year was so disheartening to the point where I called the doc who I had my psych eval with to tell hi. I was terrified, worried about not losing weight. He told meth worrying is actually a good thing, it means you are making a conscience effort to change my way of life and the worrying means you will make better choices because it is in the forefront of your mind. Since that appointment Tuesday I have not thought about food & when I do I remember this pre op diet won't last forever & I can still have my favorite just occasionally and in moderation. I think once you lose the weight and people start complimenting you it will give you the motivation to keep going until you have that sexy body you've been dreaming of! I chose not to tell anyone about surgery just the people closest to me. I don't like people in my business and I definitely don't want everyone watching me when I eat and the food choices I make. I have aleeady thought about the tummy tuck & boob job. I have huge boobies & I want them to sit up & be extra perky! If I reach my goal weight by next feb 7th that was going to be a present to myself in the spring. Thinking like that has helped me to not think of the bad times that come along with the band. It's not going to be easy but I think with your support on here as well as your support system at home you'll do great. Good luck with surgery did they tell you what time to be there? I have to be there 530am. Ugh I am not a morning person at all, but it's for a great reason so I'll suck it up & be there. Your in the homestretch one more day for us!

Good luck everyone!!!

scale junkies unite!! My bf thinks I'm a nutcase. When I wake up, after I exercise, before bed to see how much the difference between night & day... Etc. I always find an excuse to hop on. I have one week left till banding and this liquid diet sucks. I got tired of broth & Jello so I'm going with just liquids but that's making me even more hungry so I'll just suck it up. I haven't told anyone except best friends parents & bf I hate people in my business. Especially with the thought of the 9 million questions they'd ask. I. Told everyone at work I'm having my hernia repaired so I have the week off. So excited February starts tomorrow, soon we'll all be banded & on our way!!!

I'm so happy i'm not the only scale junkie out there. I feel like I'm becoming obsessed with the thing! I'm jealous of your diets! I havebto intake 80g of Protein per day shakes, zero calorie drinks, Jello, & broth It sucks but I'm down 8lbs in 4 days!!!

Good luck smokey, you'll do amazing!

How much are you exercising and what kind of exercise?? Your body might be building muscle I would say keep in contact with your doc or keep a food and exercise journal that you can show them, and maybe they will still give you the surgery if your a few pounds shy. Good luck, we share a surgery date, so I'm rooting for you

LOL Groovy I thought I was the only one that fixates on this crazy machine. I hate things touching my nose, grazing my nose, everything it sucks! I can't wait to get rid of this thing!

Tyler I definitely understand! I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet and it's a struggle. My boyfriend was just talking to me about his dinner plans and I really wanted some of whatever he's gonna eat, but this journey is so much more important than that food. Just think soon we can eat almost anything we want just in moderation! You didn't give up your chinese food forever, just for right now!

I feel you JMH I did great days 1 & 2 and now day 3 I'm struggling. I haven't stuck to my regimen and have been really hungry. But I think I'm back on track now. I'm still motivated to keep on it though. I have lost 7 lbs in 2 days so that excitement alone has fueled me during the tough times. We can do this though, good luck!

Your lucky my diet is shakes broth & jello. I'm on day 3 and doing surprisingly well I do 3 shakes 1-2 broths & some jello. The doctors must know what their talking about because I'm already down 6 lbs in 2 days!

I've only been using it a week. Some nights are ok others suck! I have 16 apneas an hour. Hopefully after surgery I won't have to use it too much longer! Just think once we drop the pounds it will be over with (hopefully!) Good luck

Getting banded 2/7/11

I was so freaked out readIng all the people that struggled on the liquid diet. Day one down & I am so proud of myself. I rocked it! I got hungry two times but ate some more broth & drank a Protein shake. I'm so motivated to start this new chapter in my life! I hope I don't hit a wall & struggle in a few days, has this happen to anyone else? You start off great then struggle??

Lady that sounds like a good plan I replaced breakfast with a protein shake & I'm doing pretty good so far ( on day 2) have lost 2.2 lbs. Good luck with your journeys

Thanks ladies! I just did a one hr zumba session so I'm getting there!! Good luck with your success. Razberry congrats on losing 98! That's great, that's around what mt goal is.

SF when did you get your band?

Hey I have supportive friends and family, but there's nothing like people going through the same thing. Keep posting & turning to your new friends on here & you'll do great! Good luck & make sure you tell us about your experience.
