Tomorrow is my big day...lap band surgery first thing tomorrow morning! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I was able to lose 16 lbs pre-op. Started pre-op diet at 229, down to 213. My goal is to get to 140, however I'll take whatever the band gives me. Anyone else start with these stats? Where are you now? Are my goals realistic? How soon did you get to 60 lbs lost? Your help is greatly appreciated! Only positive comments please.

I feeling pretty sore today. Pain level without pain meds is about 5, on pain meds about a 4. Trying to get down lots of fluids. Nurse called said to take pain meds around the clock, so keeping up with pain meds, which helps, but only a little. The pain is mostly at my incision points. I've been able to get down one Isopure, and Water. Need to work on another Isopure to get in my daily Protein. I'm not feeling hungry, so that's good. Thanks so much for checking on me.

Oh yes, much better. No pain, no sickness...just enough restriction to keep me satisfied at 4oz of Protein, little bit of veggies and two Protein shakes for the day. So all is good! 1st doc visit tomorrow.

      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.
