Surgery on Friday. I am getting kinda nervous....What is this is an epic fail???

My surgery is Thursday. We just have to believe in ourselves and do what they tell us to do. If we follow the rules we will do great. I am scared about not losing anything too, but I have already lost 34 lbs from the very beginning of this process 9.5 of which were during the 2 week pre-op diet. I know this is the right thing to do if I ever want my body back.

Good Luck on Friday and prayers and hugs to you

Girls, we can't let failure be part of our vocabulary when we discuss our future with the band. We have to be strong and go into this with only positive images of our future in minds. My mantra the last couple of weeks has been -

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phil 4:13

I don't know if your believers but find something to remind yourself of why you are doing this in the first place. I keep thinking about my sore knees and I am only 44. I don't want to be 66 and not able to do things with my future grandchildren.

Hold tight and know we are in this together - wherever we are located in the world. Chrissy

PS - I am in Fort Worth, Texas

I am hungry today!!! It doesn't help that the lunch order today taken at work was for Italian food. The smell of spaghetti and garlic bread is penetrating the halls! Calgon - take me away!!!!

Believe me I understand, my mom bought long johns silver last night and I had to lock myself in my room. I'm on preop diet day 7. Its gotten easier but I'm getting BORED with my food selection

My roommate is about to order pizza. She's been really good about eating dinner before I get home since I started this so I shouldn't really complain, but ZOMG! Frickin pizza

[babykins529 189]

Lol I'd give her a dirty look and then go in my room. My kids are getting pizza tonight but it will be gone by the time I get home. My hubs knows better!

How awful. My fiance made mashed potatoes tonight, which killed me. Everything looks so good, though. I'm in food mourning. Leaving tomorrow for Mexico to get my surgery. I'm so anxious!

[Mimi1980 27]

Good luck Lapbandit!

Going in the morning at 6:30. I am starting to get nervous. I hope this doesn't hurt too much!

[Mimi1980 27]
