surgery in 9 days- getting nervous

[ibchelle76 0]

My Lap Band surgery is in 9 days and I seem to be getting more and more nervous. Easter was really hard on the liquid diet but I have 1 little bite of turkey and then I drank my shake. Yeah I made it through the day:omg:

wow. you are so close. i remember back to those days. im over a year with my band. i feel so good. i have some trouble with getting food down. but it is not too bad. i dont have the desire to eat much anymore . i have to force myself to eat enough. i can remember back to the days that all i thought about was eating. im a different person now. thank god for the lapband and the doctor who did my surgery. good luck and relax, you are doing great. i hope you have a great experience . go slow and dont try to eat too soon after the surgery. drink lots of Protein Shakes and drink slow. you will be fine. it is a big change but i adjusted very well and felt better very soon after the surgery. good luck, let us know how you do. cat

Good for you making it through Easter. That would be really hard being on liquids. Congrats on your banding date. Good luck to you. Julie

I understand, my date is April 16. I am on the pre-op diet too. Last night I dreamed my wife sent me out to get hamburgers for the family, I don't think I have ever dreamed about food before. Somedays I wonder if anyone eating normal food is safe if they come within reaching distance. We can do it. Others have gone down this road before us. We know it is possible because their victory stories are all over this sight. :faint:
