Hi ppl!gd day!

I will be checking in2 the hospital tmr and havin the surgery on tues.

I'm very nervous and scared right now, not sure whether i'm doin the rite thing.

This is my 1st major operation and i have no idea wat to expect even though i read up a lot abt the lap band and am sure i wana get it done. i think its the surgery itself that scares me.

At the same time i'm very excited too... Is this normal?? i want to cry and laugh at the same time... :think

It is normal to be frightened. Let me tell you, I was too! Don't worry..It will be much easier than you think it will be. Good Luck.

Piece of cake! I was anxious the night before too. The medical staff will treat you like royalty and you will be very reassured. You'll do just great!!

You and I will be banded on the same day. I pray that all goes well for you! Mine is day surgery so I don't go in until Tuesday morning. God bless you!

Good luck to both of you, I will keep you both in my prayers for smooth and easy surgeries and swift recoveries.

Yes it is normal to feel both excited and scared, especially since you have never been through a surgery and you don't really know what to expect. But as surgeries go, this is one of the easier ones if you will because they do it laproscopically so it's less invasive and a quicker recovery time.

Best to you both!

Cindy

You will be good - we will be thinking about you. Take care and take it easy - try to feel peaceful. You made your decision - that was the hard part. Now just take it easy and let your body heal.

Take care - nancy

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
