U motivate me

Hanks guys! I need to hear this

Hi- my close friends all know I am getting the band Thursday. They are all so happy for me and know how successful I will be with the band. As I am reading some posts it seems it is possible I may not lose weight and the band may not work for me. I am trying not to be negative but I feel like my friends expect me to come out of the surgery and be thinner.......

I am sitting here watching the biggest loser and the trainers motivate the contestants. I can't help but feel like a failure, like I couldn't do it on my own. Then I start thinking do I really need the lap band? Why can't I do it on my own? Am I taking the easy way out? I just want to feel good all around and I need a little help. This is why I chose the procedure. Surgery is Thurs. anyone feel this way?

Ok thanks so much!

I know I see that most doctors put their patients on a 1-2 week liquid diet before surgery because it helps shrink the liver for surgery. My doctor only requires me to do the liquid shakes for 2 days prior to surgery. As I read all these posts I am feeling guilty that I have not done at least 1 week. My surgery is on Thursday so I am going to do it for 3 full days but I am wondering- did anyone else's doctor only require the 2 days prior of liquid shakes?????

Hi everyone, I am getting banded in 2 weeks and I know eventually I can start to eat certain solid foods but the first few weeks after the band scare me having to be on shakes etc. any words of wisdom?...
