txladybug1993 31 Posted February 18, 2013 My surgery is on the 19th too! I've been freaking out all weekend. I'm starting my 24 hour liquid fast' date=' and I'm starving. I guess this is when the mental strength needs to kick in, because I really have no idea when I'm going to have any nourishment in my stomach again. And I'm suddenly scared of everything. I keep imagining how scared I'll be when they give me the anesthesia, and I'm so scared of pain and nausea when I wake up. I think I need that sedative NOW![/quote'] I was banded on the 14th and had a 7 day liquid diet. I went through the same anxiety and fears. I came very close to completely calling it all off. I think my emotional roller coaster was worse the week before than it has been after. Luckily my husband was there and helped talk me off the ledge. Just remember you deserve to be healthy and if you could do it on your own you would have done it already. You are worth it!!!! Good luck and you have all of us here for support.

But, its the feeling of nausea or vommiting that im worried about. I cheated everyday on my liquid diet and my surgery is tmrw at 2p. I know so many people from work that had this done recently and they all had different experiences. Ughhhh!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For immediate relief open swab and put and keep under nose for a few minutes. Every time I received my morphine dose I had horrible nausea my nurse offered this to me. She was my godsend.
