Man.... I have been pretty ok until last night/today. My surgery is one week from today. I went to the doc last week and he was pleased because I lost 11 lbs and he said I was right on track.... I have also been SUPER SUPER busy with a production of Wizard of OZ that ran the past three days..... all of a sudden yesterday I got this horrible knot in the pit of my stomach.. ya know... the holy S*#% knot...... this is going to be a long week.

My surgery is also in one week. We will join the "bandsters" on the same day, congratulations to you. I also get the Holy s&** feelings, LOL. We will be okay and we can do this. I wish you the very best, and Happy Holidays.

i ONLY HAVE TO DO ONE WEEK OF PRE OP DIET.

I am a little worried about that.

I cannot get a hold of the nutritionist. I talked to the doctor today and asked him if I could have Miso Soup for a liquid

Basicaly only Water miso paste, cut up veggies and tofu

He is only consirned about miso paste. but he said I could exchange the tofu for a cottage cheese I am allowed and take the veggies out of what I am allowed. but the miso he dosent know enough about it to make a determination.

Grrr so frustrating.

You are all going to do great - you will all do the best you can and your reward at the end will be knowing that the weight you lose now will be gone for ever thanks to your new little buddy (band). I was s**t scared before my op, so you are not alone in that feeling. Good luck to you all.

If you haven't seen my rants from the days leading up to my banding, you're missing out. I was definitely in panic mode. Everything that could go wrong was going to go wrong in my mind. It's normal. When I talked to my coordinator she said that if I WASN'T anxious, overwhelmed, a little terrified, she'd be worried about me.

It will all work out and only good things will come from it. Grab ahold of that inner strength that got you to make that first phone call. I don't think it was easy for anyone to do that. It took MAJOR guts. That's the you that will pull you through.

You're all going to do GREAT!!
