I am having lap band surgery on August 17th. I wasn't nervous until I got an actual date. I'm worried that I might not be doing everything right on the pre-surgery diet. I have all these emotions. I have cried about it a couple of times. I keep wondering if I can do this, before the date I thought I could. I'm worried about being sick and throwing up a lot like a lot of people do. I cry about the loss of food as strange as that seems. Is it possible to grieve the loss of the foods you love? I'm quite frightened with this new way of life. I know that I need to do something, my health is not that great and I'm 250 lbs. I have no energy, I'm tired all the time, I take a lot of medications. Any advice?
