6 Days To Banding!!!!

[Sugar1 0]

Ok, so this is new to me. I am being banded in 6 days. I have been doing the liquid diet for 6 days now plus for a week before, I really watched what I was eating, substituting 1 meal with Slimfast and having yogurt and fruit for Breakfast. Prior to starting the liquid diet, I lost 9 lbs and have lost 7 lbs so far on the liquid diet and still have 6 days to go. I have to say that I am worried that I will feel hungry after the surgery. I have a friend who had the band done and has had all sorts of problems from slippage to hernias. She has also gained 40 lbs since her surgery (she had it 3 years ago). I am worried that this will also happen to me.:nervous The doctor tells me that after surgery I can expect to lose 1 to 2 lbs per week... is this the average? That's awfully slow if it is, especially since you are eating so much less!!!! I would like to know what others have experienced. Thanks!
