Hi all! I'm less than a week from surgery(jan 28) and I'm starting to get nervous. This has been a two year journey and finally it's here! I'm excited but scared! Anyone else feel or felt like this?

Definately! I could've written that 2 months ago when I was banded (nov 28). I guess it's the fear of the unknown. I can honestly say that it's full steam ahead for me. You have an exciting new life ahead of you, enjoy the journey.

I just wrote a quote on my Facebook that said..."A good goal should SCARE you a little and EXCITE you alot." This is my mantra for my surgery that is scheduled for Feb 7th!! Good luck!

Spaness, I LOVE that quote, totally stealing. Thank you. LOL.

asr2468, Yes, when I was banded I was scared out of my mind. But I could no longer live the way I was living and be happy. I was so off track with my life it wasn't funny. For me, getting the band was the only way I wanted to keep on living.

I am becoming more nervous by the day! I am scheduled for 1/31 and I can't believe I am taking this step. I am so nervous I won't succeed because I have failed every other diet, but the doctor and everyone at the support group has been great.

Scared + Nervous = NORMAL! You will do great. We all felt that way, but I have never regretted the decision!

      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.
