Of course it's nerve wreaking - this is a big decision....I just got banded last Friday and I can just tell you from my experience- its over before you know it....and the weight loss begins! I'm down five pounds and I am looking forward to continuing that trend -as my husband says: It has to work....not possible for it not too....

So keep your chin up! I'm sure you will love it....:)

I had those thoughts the day before surgery...it was becoming more and more real. I got the surgery on Tuesday and everything went well. I'm still not hungry and I had to force myself to watch some broth and a popsicle. I do feel better this morning...but not 100%

I'm about a year out from my surgery, and I felt the same way when I started out. Luckily, my process went very quickly so I didn't have a lot of time to freak out. LOL I've never had any regrets and this has been a life changer for me. Just follow your doctor's orders and get a good support system going. You'll do great and it'll be over in no time. :)

      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.
