Surgery next Monday

[bkwalling 0]

I will have surgery next Monday. Does anyone have any last wk advice to make me more prepared. I have been reading this site for over 6 months but still not sure I know everything or can remember it all.

I do have a question how did everyone feel the first month w/o a fill did you feel restriction or not any at all or a little

I am a head hunger girl and I am nervous

I actually did feel some restriction from the start. Which was nice.

I wasn't hungry at all the first month or so, I think just from the surgery and recovering.

I'm a monday-er myself! I see you have been losing weight on the pre-op diet. I think that's great, if you've been able to stick to that enough to lose some weight then looks like you are able to tackle the head hunger as it comes.

Hope everyone has a quick surgery and little pain on Monday!

Don't worry. If you've read this site, you're prepared. I had everything I could possibly need thanks to this board!

I didn't want to eat at all for about a week. I forced myself to eat in the beginning.

After a week and a half or so, I was hungry again....but it's very different. I'm a compulsive eater/head hunger person, too. You'll be fine.

I am monday too. I think I have been doing things right so far, moderation and good drugs for anxiety have been a key factor for me. I am not anxious about the surgery, just about having to abandon my former best friend. food has been a crutch for me for as long as I can remember. I am never alone as long as I have food right? Ironically, foid has also been destroying my quality of life, it is time for the real me to work through whatever it is I have to work through. 3 more sleeps till I leave.

Good luck everyone!

Monday girl here too!

We are going to be fine. I doubt I will get a decent night's sleep in the next week but overall I am sure it will all work out. Hang in there!

The is one of the benefits of the band. I didn't feel hungry at all. Hopefully you will feel the same.
