My date is Dec 17th also, and yes, I am nervous. I went to visit a friend in the hospital on friday only to find out this was the wing that I was going to have my lapband and gallbladder procedure done. I got to see how it will all go down! I even saw my surgeon racing thru the hallways back and forth--he seemed very busy. It's gonna be all right. I think the only pain we will feel is needles and then the afterwards will feel like I have been doing too many sit ups so my surg says. I can handle that with the drugs. I more worried about people seeing me naked and being on my period during surgery! crazy I know! Just think how happy we will be a year from now when we are a lot thinner!We cannot fail! dont even use that word!

You are very welcome! What time is your surgery? Mine is 9am central time, I guess he has a gallbladder to take out before mine. Sounds like the surgery is easy. I went to a support group back in August and a guy was in there that had the surgery the day before and got to go home the same day. He said it was "no big deal". I would probably get to go home the same day but they are telling me that I live too far away to let do that. I live an hour from the hospital. I will be thinking of you that day. My psychologist told me they could give me "something" if I get to anxious about surgery. I think she might have meant a xanax??? I had lasik surgery in 2005. I figure if I could have someone cut on my eyes then I could sure handle something to make my thinner! I have done and tried it all. This is my last resort to a thinner better me! :biggrin: Good luck to youand my God Bless us all! OH wait! He already has! :biggrin:

      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.
