i know! @@Vtsoutherngal I'm excited about cream Soups too! i bought some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken flavor to mix in it!

i'm having an off day today. just feel kinda blah, and head hunger is back worse than it was on day 2. it probably has to do with the fact that my office is having cinco de mayo nachos for public service week and its all i can smell/see when i walk thru the hall. just really ready for thursday. i'm glad i have 2 weeks off (one for surgery, one for staycation) so i dont have to deal with these things right away, especially when i'll be full liquid for a week or two.

hope everyone is doing well!

Sorry about that!!! But it is a good thing on how you can experience this now and learn how to cope. I have had so many activities over here too but non have been tempting for me and I have surprised myself. Thursday can't come any sooner over here too, I just want to be able to get to full liquids by Sunday for mother's day!!!

well, less than 48 hours until surgery and I'm finally feeling a little nervous. i think its more for the surgery in general, not the lap-band. i'm not a huge fan of needles, so i dont enjoy the IV process. still WAY more excited than nervous, though.

Betty, congrats on your being banded. I too was nervous about the surgery not the lap-band part. Everything will be ok.

Good luck on your surgery. Just take it one day at a time and listen to your doctor!!

I was banded may 2 and feeling pretty good. How long is the typical recovery period?

Hi.. I've been lurking this board since Feburary when I was sure I wanted to get the lap band. My surgery is tomorrow and I just got a call saying my surgery time is 12:45pm and now I'm so nervous.. I'm here at work about to cry.

I've been battling weight issues all my life. I've gone on so many diets but my weight is always a yoyo. I loose kind of fast but I gain it back faster. I decided to get WLS because I have a 4 yr old daughter who is chubby and I don't want her to go through what I have gone through and I want to be an example. I don't want to take her for walks and be out of breathe because I'm so out of shape. I have 2 teenage boys who are very athletic and I hope my daughter follows their steps but I have to be an example.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
