I'm starting to second guess the surgery now:((

Having this surgery isn't benefiting anyone but you and your health.

You'll probably have to cut your eating drastically, and begin exercising

if you don't already. This is a difficult thing to do and takes a big

commitment from you.There are lots of reasons why you can't lose

weight, but none of them will help you at all. If you look around at

people of normal weight and think you want to be one of them, then

you know what to do.

There is no malabsorption with the band! And being that Xanax is a small pill, you shouldn't have any issues with taking it. I suppose to be safe you could cut them in half before taking.

Push the negative feelings aside and think about something else. Anything positive. Maybe not related to the band so you don't fall back into panic mode......I have anxiety and take klonopin as needed as well and have been seeing a psychologist, who has been instrumental in helping me redirect my thoughts as soon as the "what ifs" creep into my head. DON'T WORRY! People do this EVERY DAY! :)

      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.
