    Pre Surgery jitters?

    Tomorrow is the day. I purchased all the things I will need yesterday. I Have To Get Popsicles tonight. I think I'm ready. Trying to push down more fluids because I'm feeling real sluggish today. I feel drained for some reason

    Pre Surgery jitters?

    I agree with skywalker. I almost talked myself out of my surgery Friday listening to someone who had it done in October. She sat and told me all the pain she is in and how nothing is enjoyable when she eats. She said I would vomit all the time. She really freaked me out then I had to take my own advice. Everyone is different. Her experience will not be mine.

    Tips for Surgery Day?

    Thank you. I'm on the count down
  10. I live on the 3rd floor of my apartment complex. I had bags in my hand. When I finally made it in the house I was winded and tired. I had to sit a few moments to catch my breath. I sat there and looks at myself and became sad. At one time I was an aerobics teacher and now I can barely get thru and class. Yes,surgery scares me, being able to not eat certain things is disheartening. Today only made me realize my decision is the best one I could have ever made. At 40, single (me and my boyfriend broke up yesterday) and no kids in the home I want my life back. I want to dance,hike,run and start teaching again. I have never jade this many health problems as I do now. I look forward to Thursday. I went shopping today and for a fee things to have after surgery. I will go again Wednesday night to make sure I can make it till Monday.

    Pre Surgery jitters?

    For me I'm setting small goals and if I overpass that goal good. I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. Whatever goal you set you will do fine. We are here to support you
  15. I have read negative post also. What I had to remember was that everyone is different. My experience may not be the same as the next person. I think some people get the band and think that the wait will drop off quickly and when it does then it becomes a disappointment. I am using the band is a tool to help lose weight I am NOT sitting real high expectations because I know it will take time. I believe you should do what you feel is best for you and your situation don't solely rely on other people's experience because yoU couldbe totally different. Good luck to you on whatever decision you make
  16. It was a struggle. I went to Mardi gras and had two good days before I started diet on monday. I've had lots of water, crystal light and baked fish. It's killing me now. My sister did make me a broccoli salad and she used splenda in the dressing. You would have thought it was steak the way I was eating it.
  17. Hi everyone My date is thursday. I'm so struggling with the sugar busters diet. I'm traveling home from vacation and want to get some ice cream or a caramel Machiatto so bad

    negativity

    I've been very select to whom I tell about my surgery. My boyfriend has been skeptical but supportive. Well I decided to tell my mom and my nephew. Well needless to say all I heard was people die from those things, just stop eating, it's not going to work or you will do good for a few months then gain it back or just exercise. I was hurt but got mad. I finally said it's going to happen and my mind is made up. I didn't say it in an ugly fashion. My children are supportive and the 3 other people I did tell. From this point forward I will not tell a soul. I told my boyfriend to not take any time off from work. I will do this alone. He was not happy but I know he will make sure I follow the doctors orders to a T. (Ex-military) and have me exercising daily.

    Cheating the Band

    Stay focused. It's worth it.

    Getting the band shouldn't down play any effort because you still have to put in the work. It still takes working out,discipline and a life change. Well my mind is made up its going to happen.

    Pre-surgery diet

    It says 3 grams. But I will stop to be on safe side. I don't need any delays on my surgery

    Pre-surgery diet

    Ok. My doctor recommend sugar busters diet for pre-op. do you think it would be a good idea to do a protein shake mixed with strawberries every morning for breakfast? I'm considering buying a real nice blender so I can start making smoothies in the morning. I've also been taking adult gummi vitamins.
