You will do fine. Everybody gets nervous as surgery approaches. And everyone gets depressed at the thought of losing their best friend "food". Why don't you go to before and after pictures. That should make you feel better.

It is common to second guess yourself. Stick with your decision and then do everything your doctor tells you and follow the rules and you will do fine. We all worry that we are going to be 'the one' that fails. And clearly all of us don't! If you commit to doing what you are supposed to do you will do fine! Good luck!

take heart and stay in the game! It's your body and your life - don't lose faith in yourself 2 days before the big day! On Feb. 25, I asked a friend/colleague if she had any regrets regarding lapband surgery - she said "only that I didn't do earlier in my life". That was a page turner for me. The results excite me, the surgery scares me to death,.....the opportunity to live my life the way I have always wished - that is what helps me stay in the game!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
