Hi!

Tina...im with you..with emotions..lol....i always weight about what you do....we can all get through this together...

Its funny all, I have also been eating like no tomorrow, but honestly when time comes to make this change, i AM ready to do so. And i think the fact that we wont feel "hungry" will help tremendously. Even tho we typically eat just out of habit, even when we're not hungry, whenyour stomach if full and y ou just arent hungry..well, thats key - so we should be very successful!

I'm soooo happy to be finally ready to do this...! Can you imagine by the end of the year, holiday time..how amazing we will be looking??? :ihih:

Anyone afraid of the "thinness"

hi

to be honest i am just a little, i guess because i have never seen myself at a normal weight. i think im prob just scared of everything now that i have my date. i keep thinking is this really about to happen for me.

i've seen people on tv who have lost weight yet still see themselves as that overweight person and i dont want to be like that. whatever weight i lose will no doubt make me healthier than i am now and thats what i want to be.:w00t:

WOW! I had no idea that there were so many of us getting surgery around the same time! The eating like there's no tomorrow actually has a name. It's called "The Last Supper Syndrome". The nutritionist at the surgeon's office told me about it and asked me if I thought I was doing it. I'm like "do birds fly?" I'm with you all on that one!

I'm kind of afraid to see what I'll look like thin too but I'm so excited about it too!!!! Just think, we will all be healthy and able to do so much physically again. That is more what I'm excited about than the thin part. But to be able to wear skinny clothes will be great too!

Hey all! I have made my "face" known on a few other July threads, but thought for good measure I would post here too. My surgery is July 1 and liquids begin June 17th....and i am happy to know that my "last supper" behavior is more common than I thought...cuz lemme tell ya! It's been ON! But it has accomplished what I wanted it too....I am so sick to death of fast foods and deserts that I am in some twisted way looking forward to liquids!

I am super excited to share in this with each of you! :w00t:

Hi All! Looks like a lot of us across the Country will be banded on July 20th! I'm in California and I'm scheduled for the 20th, too! I'm a little nervous but am really looking forward to changing my life for the better!!

My next appointment is July 7th to go over labs etc. I'm struggling right now trying to shed the 10 pounds my Doctor wants me to lose, but I'm getting there...

Glad I won't be "alone" on the 20th!!!

Hi Everyone! I am new to this posting stuff! But I am being banded July 20th!:smile2: I am so glad to hear that other people are having "The Last Supper Syndrome" I am so having it! I am trying to be good but I am finding it hard and I'm thinking to myself, how am I ever going to quit drinking my diet pepsi! It's my only source of caffeine! I'm scared nervous and keep thinking about the surgery but I am so ready! Anyone got any good tips for me?!?!

Hello all July Bandsters!

I am being banded on July 9th. The whole process has really only taken me a month. I told myself if this was meant to be it would be a breeze. I am getting nerrvous about sweets too. I love my sweets. But this is a change I have to make for myself and my family. Congrats to all on your decision.:smile2:

Hello! July 13th!!

I have been so worried that I will not be able to do this, but after finding this website and seeing there are people out there to "talk" to that are going through the exact same thing, I THINK I CAN DO IT!!

Thank you!!!

How do we get our own forum? So we can all be in one place?

I am right there with you guys. I got approved for surgery in mid-March, with a surgery date four months later. I've had four months of "Last Supper Syndrome"!!! It's awful. I try to tell myself that it's only hurting me to gain before my surgery, but the overriding thought is "must eat foods I love in case I can never eat them again!" While my doctor's office has never said a thing about gaining weight pre-surgery, part of me is afraid that they'll weigh me next week and say "oops, you've gained weight, we need to reschedule your surgery". And I've been waiting 4 months!!! My pre-op diet is only 5 days, but it's liquids only, so I'll probably drop a few pounds with that. Oh well. :confused:
