Any suggestions as to how the hell I'm gonna lose these last 8 lbs in the 5 remaining days until my surgery Monday?... My surgeon in the past has postponed people for being 2 lbs more than he wants them to be... I've had nothing but Protein Shakes and Water for 19 days... I've increased my morning workout the only thing I'm a little guilty of is not quite drinking 64oz of water a day... But at this point ill try anything safe

I am on the 12th and for some reason over thes last few days have become a bundle of nevres. I feel like I can not say anything for I want this! Who do you talk to about this??? Not to sound stupid! To top it off I am a revision from the bad to bypass! So it is not like I have not done this before?? However this is very differnt. I wonder if that is not the part that is scaring me. Or maybe it is the Doctor that did my band retired and they did not do all these classes I just had to figure it out. Knowing and planning and "doing it right" might be the problem kinda. Even those I was successful somewhat on the band it caused me many health issues and for years I would not tell anyone b/c I did not want to tell anyone about another fail diet! To go through surgery and still fail how could that happen?? So, I know that worries me so much. What if this doesn't work? What if I never loose this 100 pounds I have left. What if I can't get enough protien? Or I forget how to take the vitiams? Or I throw up all the time light I did with the band (till I went on all liquids). Am I ever going to feel human? The cunsoler thinks it is just b/c of being sick for so long and trying to carry it alone and not telling anyone why the fear. I agree but it does not make it go away. I am 7 days wow 7 I feel like there is so much to do but yet there is really not.

I got Christmas bought for the kids. I am working on the Christmas Cleaning. That also keeps me busy. I have all the shakes, cups, container vitiams and stuff bought. I am ready. A few more loads of laundry and I'll pack a small bag. Deep Breath 7 days I am so nervous I am not even like this. WHAT IS GOING WRONG!!! UGH!!

Ok pull it together!!

Thanks for the venting so needed that sorry for the crazy noone I cared to share with here I guess did not want to feel judged!!

All I have to say is we serve a mighty God!! Tomorrow at 5:30 AM. Thank you all for your prayers they were heard. Also praying for all my journey buddies for tomorrow on their surgeries.

I'm so glad you were able to have your surgery! I was thinking about you the show time I was in the hospital.

Hang in there dstumpfol! My story is very similar to yours and I'm scared, too! I am having my band from 2007 removed and revising to rny on Monday the 10th--just before you. I talked to my doctor about all the things that were on my mind that you listed above. He was very reassuring and said that these fears and concerns are very, very common with people who have not done well or even failed with the lapband. That makes sense to me. Once again we have put our fears aside, done something scary, and had it fail with the band. He assures me this WILL WORK if I am able to stick to the protocol of diet and exercise. I'm worried, too, about the malnutrition and the ability to eat what is necessary and healthy (not just slider foods to get by the band!). I have to believe this will be the answer--I'm not rearranging my insides to just go back to bad habits and comfort foods. Does your doctor have a support group? I think that will really help--I've been to one of their meetings already and just felt so good with their stories, hopes, dreams, concerns, etc. I'm commited to attend every month. Good luck to US next week! Here's to a new life!

Increase your water intake to try to get more than 64 ozs & only walk during your workout. Don't do anything that will build muscle over the next few days.
