You will do fine Jorjet, if you weren't nervous, I'd be worried. Believe me, I understand everything you are thinking and feeling, so does every banded person here, I'd be willing to bet. You did your homework? You understand what you are getting into as best you can? You feel confident you can make this work? Only you can decide, but you can cancel at the last minute if you must. Think about how you would feel if you did cancel or postpone. Would you be relieved and have peace about that? If so, don't do it. If the thought of not going through with your band surgery makes you even sicker than your nervousness...move forward and it will be over in no time. And yo will be banded!!!! Good Luck tomorrow. Best to you and keep us posted please.

Best of Luck- Its normal to feel nervous & go through the "what if? & Is it right?" questions. I think until your home & losing weight those questions will all go unanswered. But just think of the resounding "YES" you can give yourself in month from now when you really begin to reap the benefits. You'll do great. Follow your Doc's orders & try & get some rest. Welcome to the New YOU!

Hi Jorjet,

We're thinking about you! Let us know how everything goes when you get home and tell us more about yourself. Are you having a U.S. surgeon do your surgery? Anyhow best wishes, Teresa

Jorjet,

It's ok to be nervous. You are probably anxious too. You'll be just fine. I think we all have gone thru this. Good luck on your surgery and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Awww sorry that you are so nervous, but you will do just fine. Like Kathy said, we all have those second thoughts, it is just normal.

Good luck and please let us know what you decided to do.

Hugs!

      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.
