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

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!

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....

      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.
