Ok you guys are freaking me out! I am scheduled for banding in Oct. What is this about not being able to drink? I don't want to limit what I drink! Help!

I can still chug just fine too ;) Don't freak out!

Dont fret.....I can take about 1/2 a bottle of Water at a time and I am 10 months out. However make sure you do limit WHAT TYPE of drink. Many wasted calories are spent on soda and smoothies.... I now only drink water, tea, 1c per day of skim milk, crystal light and the occasional glass of wine.

I'm with you FayFaye, I can't chug anything! I sip all my drinks. I don't know if it is habit, after 20 months, or if it my band. But, I just tried to drink, and I took sips. I have tried larger sips. but still can't chug! Karen

I REALLY hope I can still drink Water the way I do now. I get really thirsty, especially in the summer living in Vegas when it's 115 degrees outside and i'd rather die than take one step out of air conditioning. Hoping to feel better (and cooler) when I am lighter, less insulation, right?

I'm amazed at how much I love drinking Water now, although I have to take it a bit slowly so it doesn't hurt. What I don't miss is all the fizzy pop that I used to drink. It doesn't bother me to have it in the house or to see others drinking it. I just don't miss it. And I am easily doing 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.

In keeping with the rest of you...I TOO am "One of those people" and keep a light cardigan in my van because of restaurants and stores. I even had to turn my a/c up because I am freezing all the time. MY FEET, my TOES ARE ALWAYS COLD! Like right now, coffee is NOT keeping me warm.

I think I am hypothermic! :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
