You will be fine, it is natural to be nervous. Think about how far you have come and just be strong, because everything is for a new you and a fresh beginning. This surgery should give you hope, that you can do it! I just had my band in on August 12th and am feeling great and you will soon too!:rolleyes:

Amy, you're going to be fine. I had my surgery six days ago and luckily I've had little to no pain at all.

My only advice is to walk, walk, walk after surgery and follow your doctor's instructions.

Tomorrow, I'm going back to work (maybe not all day since I'm still tired) but I'm confident that I'm well enough to go back.

Good luck on Friday and let us know how you're doing.

Good luck Amy! Best wishes and hope you have little or no pain. My day is Thursday - liquid diet is not too bad. I'm not really hungry which is totally weird. You'll be fine!

      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.
