One Week to Go

heartsmile4_1 · February 22, 2007

Hello to everyone. I have one week to go before I have my surgery. I am having all sorts of feelings. I am sure that everyone experiences fear, and confusion about what to expect. I am going to read all of the threads about pre-op and 1 week post-op to get some idea of what to expect. All I ask is support from the group and I wish everyone having surgery soon "Good Luck." Nice to be aboard - heartsmile4_1 :kiss2:

I was the same way. After the first week on the liquid diet..I was questioning the surgery like crazy. I'd sit and talk with my hubby and try to figure out a better solution rather than surgery. That liquid diet was making me crazy! LOL!! I was on it for 2 weeks...it was awful! I would tell him..nope..I can't do this! I'd be fine the next day. Now it's been almost 4 weeks since I was banded and I'm so glad I did it. Those first weeks preop and 2 weeks po-op were the hardest. It was only hard because I got so tired of broth. Now I'm a very happy girl on full liquids and more variety. I'm hoping it will only get better. I'm so happy I did this!

Good luck to you!
