PJTP - Happy Wednesday! The sun is rising and the air is dry.

Apparently I had intended to take this day off of work; I forgot that until I signed in this morning. How sad is that - I forgot I was taking a day off.

Sadly, I don't.

just venture into the political discussions - which i can only do once a wk or so; and it won't be hard to miss.

same reason i don't watch the view.

I am also a newbie with only a few posts. Just remember that we were all newbies at one point, so while our posts may ramble it is probably because we are hungry, tired, and desperate for info that our too-busy surgeons office couldn't answer in a timely manner, so we find ourselves on here seeking the experience of those who have gone before us. I sure all of you that have had your bands for awhile once had the same silly questions we (newbies) have.

i wouldn't take anything here personal, there's a lot of silliness & advice, in the postings. i think this thread has those from every stage of the lapband process represented (sleeved 2!), in fact a few pages back from this one - you'll see advice given to SNT who gets her band tomorrow.

since it is the rant & rave forum - you'll get some complaints; but you'll also find many posting here also on answering a LOT of newbie questions from the home page.....congrats on the band!!!

I did a glance through once, I couldn't go back. I also can't watch the view. :regular_smile:

Ohhhh, as I avoid the political threads at all costs, I was missing the 'calm, rational discourses and fulsome discussions of viewpoints respecting all individuals and their opinions'!

Thanks Luluc!

I agree; we're definitely not talking about a newbie right now! I have to stay away from the political threads b/c of the one. She can post 3x to my 1! I Tivo "The View" but fast forward through Elizabeth Hasselbeck's crap. I want to reach through the TV and slap her! My mom says she's so sanctimonious!

I definitely appreciate the veterans. I'm very nervous about tomorrow more so about the pain and being on liquids for 3 weeks than about the actual surgery!!! I began liquids yesterday and was starving all doggone day. Today it's better, thankfully. :regular_smile:

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
