My nerves are getting to me

[Thee-O 15]

This sensation of being excited and nervous is getting to me. After a over a year of preparing for this, it is now 8 days away. Part of me is thrilled. Part of me is scared. The change of my surgery date (although by just 4 days) it forced me to take a harder look at things. I doubted myself, doubted the procedure. Not sure why. It was a let down for sure, but for some reason it rocked me more than it should...sheesh it is only 4 days really.

Maybe it is the liquid diet talking. I have been feeling rather weak the past few days. A little on edge also. Not my usually self. But on the plus side, I am sleeping rather well.

I just need to push through. Moments of weakness happen. It is how we pick ourselves up that shows us our character.

Sometimes the strongest thing we can do....is admit we are weak.

Hang in there...it will be here soon! My surgery got moved up a day and scared the heck out of me. But in the end, all went well especially after the initial soreness in the first couple of days! I am sure you are going to do great

Hey Jacob!

I feel the EXACT same way! I'm scheduled for the 11th and just want it to get here!

I get those moments of happiness, excitement...then those "I'll never be able to eat or go there again" panic attacks.

Right now I'm taking it a day at a time and know this is the right thing for my happiness and heath for the future.

We are in similar situations. My surgery is scheduled for 11th of May, but maybe kicked back until the 16th because my doctor has jury duty the day before and if he can't get out, my surgery will be pushed back. That would mean my week of Protein shake and liquid diet with be for nothing and I will have to do it another week!! UGG!!

I am on day 2 of this diet and it is really mental draining. I am doubting my decision and the lap band I keep reading or hearing things that are negative or complications. I keep reading how people get it and lose then gain it all back and then some. I have heard all these things before i started this diet and I was okay about them thinking I can do this and follow this program, but knowing that I will have to do a liquid diet for at least 3 weeks total I feel discouraged and unsure if I can do just liquids for such a long period of time.

I have read other post and it say that the first few days are the worst part of this liquid diet so I am so ready for the 4th day when it gets easier!! I just keep thinking I only have 5 more days until the surgery!

I also feel very weak and on the edge!

We just need to stay busy and stay positive!! I am glad I am not the only person dealing with these issues...

Good luck to you!! Maybe tomorrow will be easier!

I had a couple days where i had gotten the dizzies being out and about in Ca with 90+ heat and just being so frikin hungry I started packing a snack bag with a hard boiled egg and some celery lol funny never would have pictured me having that as a snack and it being enough but I am finding that last night my salad and fish filled me up almost didn't do my second shake , but then I thought didn't they say my hair would fall out without appropriate Protein can't have that happen , of all parts of my self my hair is what I've always been proud of . Hoping after awhile it will be all of me I'm proud of , although this pre op diet sux I see the pounds coming off and makes me feel good. Makes me proud of my strength as you all should be also . Just think with the band we do it with help pre op is all us!!
