I've been looking on this forum for a while. I finally decided to register. I have my surgery scheduled for April 15. I start my pre-op diet next weekend. I am a little nervous. Wondering if I am making the right decision. Anyone else felt that way?

Welcome and congrats. I think most of us second guessed ourselves. Speaking for myself i was sure until a few days before surgery. In fact when i was waiting my turn i was considering leaving the hospital but glad i didn't.

Good LUCK

Your feelings are normal, but lap band works if you work the band. At goal and happy I had the surgery! Good luck and welcome to LBT.

I think we all felt that way. We've tried all the diets. Any time of WLS is usually the final end of the road. Look at it a fresh start to a new chapter in your life. This is a great site for information. Ask lots of questions... take it one day a time.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email me.

I know I was very anxious the day before my surgery.. after my surgery I was a little down the first week feeling that I had made a mistake.. however that feeling soon left and I was involved in eating right and starting to walk and move... I am very happy I made the decision to get my band.. I have not felt this good in years.. You will do great.. and will be posting your accomplishments soon...

Big decisions are always accompanied by anxiety. But let us reassure you, this is going to be the best decision. Trust the band! :)

I myself am worried about it! April 8 here!

But I think of all the things I will be able to do! Walking in theme parks, fitting through turnstiles, plane seats, etc.

      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?

      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.
