I am new to the board and getting banded tomorrow morning. I am at the end of day two of the Clear liquids and all clean from the inside out. I even cleaned my naval! Lol. I am feeling pretty good, just nervous.

I am wondering if I am doing the right thing? Every once in a while, I have doubts and wonder if everything will go smooth. Reading the possible things that can go wrong scares me. I am hoping that I can fall asleep quickly tonight.

You will do great. You chose this process with a clear head months ago. Second thoughts are natural, you are taking a huge step and changing the way you eat for the rest of your life. Try to relax. You will be a bit nervous tomorrow too.

Remember that your future is the reason you are doing this. Get as much sleep as you can, chances are, you won't sleep again until after the surgery. (I'm not counting the drug induced type - lol)

Let us know how you are doing when you are up to logging on. I know you'll do great!

Best wishes to you.

Please find comfort in knowing that a few months from now you'll be alot lighter and you'll be wishing you'd done it sooner!

Hi, This is my first post on here, it's all a bit daunting isnt it? Best of luck for tomorrow, I'm sure it won't be long and you know that yes you did make the right decision. I am due this Monday for my LAP-BAND® and have been that busy with everything else this week, so the weekend is here and all of a sudden it's hit me with a thud..........like you.....second thoughts. But know in my heart it's the only way to beat "this struggle" I've had for years.

I must admit though I am on here to inload my guilt, I had a handful of hot chips yesterday, yes am on opt-slim, but I was like an animal, has anyone else out there "slipped" on pre-op diets?

Anyway on the straight and narrow, best wishes to you tomorrow, can't wait to hear how it all went. Cheers.:(

Thank you everyone. I am back and every thing went well. I am feeling pretty sore and bloated but the pain med and Gas X really helps. The past two days, my days consisted of sleeping and walking. Lol.

Can anyone tell me how long will the gas pain last?

      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.
