Tomorrow is the day



Recommended Posts

Tis the night before banding.... I'll stop right there. Tomorrow is the day, and I feel numb. It is as if it is surreal. I cannot believe I am taking such a big step for myself. Can I do it? Am I worth it? What if there are complications? Too many questions in my head and not enough emotion. Well, I've come this far, 17 lbs pre-op. Please let everything go smooth with no gas pains! I also pray I don't have an anxiety attach on the table!

You are so worth it!!! Don't worry, they give you meds that make you feel so good and then you couldn't care less what they do to you. Then you wake up and it's all over!

You're in my thoughts and prayers! Everyone that goes through this experiences the same anxiety, so you are not alone.

Just think 1wk from now, you will be banded and feeling pretty good. You will be a success if you follow your Drs orders. If you really want this to work, you will make it work.

You are worth it, you can do it and your future is going to be awesome.

Try to think of the prize, not the "what if's".

Best Wishes

They will give you something to calm your nerves, just ask. Mine did.

Today is the last day of your overweight life. Tomorrow is the beginning of your new, healthy, slimmer life.

I felt the exact same way the night before. I suffer from panic attacks anyway so I was so worried I would have one, but they give you meds that work wonders. The 2 or 3 days after I had questioned my decision also.......could I have just tried ONE more thing to lose weight, was surgery really the way to go, what was i thinking....day 4 I felt much better and I again had my eye on the prize. I know why I did this and I am worth it. You ARE worth it, you WILL get through it, and things will only get better from here. I wish you the best of luck!

Ok the no gas pain doubtful but it will be totally worth it. I was banded 17 days ago as of day 14 I was down 8 pounds. I already feel better then I did before surgery. Welcome to the rest of your life!!! See ya on the other side.

I was banded today. Surgery went fine. I was very weepy afterwards. I'm having pain but not a lot of it due to gas. Sleepy time, who knows I might even sleep walk....

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
