January 6......nervous wreck!

Hi everyone, keep me in your prayers.  I've just started dieting and next week I start my preop liquid diet.  I go on the 24th for my preop labs and then I meet with my surgeon on the 30th

I hope all works out for you! My date is scheduled for jan 7th . I am having lap.band either way i feel the same way you do. Hope all goes well for you too Nicole

Thanks for the kind words, I told my mom I was going to have to take one of my grandma's Ativans or something because I'm so anxious/nervous!  I have always got 8 hours of sleep and never took any kind of nerve/mood pill, but I swear I'm gonna need something the day before surgery.  Good Luck to us!

I'm so excited for both of you.  I have to wait until Jan 19th.  I'm not nervous yet, but I'm not the nervous type.  Good luck on your pre-op liquid diet.  Keep us posted on how it is to live on liquids for two weeks.  I think that two weeks scares me more than the surgery!  Five bottles of Boost Glucose Control a day is all I get.  How 'bout you?  Good luck in the days ahead.

Is everyone doing a 2 week liquid diet?????  I can't even start on my low carb diet......don't know if I could do 2 weeks of liquid.  I go for my preop on 12/18.  Guess I will get in trouble......I just don't get it.  I've never been able to stick to diet before....how do they expect me to do it now??  I mean with the band at least it will be there to remind me I HAVE to do it.  I guess I;m just a frustrated with everything.  Ready for the weight (wait) to be over with!!!!

Just keep your eye on the prize!  you can do this.  Myabe not perfect, but you can make small changes that will add up.  I'm rooting for you!!!

Hugs,

Deb

Hi! My surgery is on Jan. 6 also, and I'm starting to freak out. I haven't been sleeping well for several nights. It's a combination of thinking about having major surgery, thinking about the major lifestyle changes that I'll have to make and being super excited that it is finally almost here and I will be beginning my "new life".  I go for my pre-op nutrition & exercise class on 12/18, my pre-op testing on 12/26 and the medical clearance with my primary doctor on 12/29. I've been busy getting things together as I'll be staying with my parents for a few days when I get out of the hospital. I ordered the first month of vitamins from CELEBRATE and am waiting for them to come- I've heard that they are good and taste good, as well. I hope so, because the samples of Bariatric Fusion that I tried at the surgeon's office were horrible. Either way I'll take them, but being halfway tolerable would sure help.
At least we have the Holidays to keep us busy! Good Luck with the liquid diet. You're on my prayer list!

Prayers being said. You will do great.
