Hungry but no appetite

I am 6 days banded and im struggling with hunger but nothing sounds good to me anymore... I make some soup or a protein shake but cannot finish it and i feel like im wasting food all the time! Ive lost 9 pounds in 6 days and that feels good but i think my body is done with liquids and wants real food and that scares me cause im so scared of gaining weight back. I have 2 more days left of this liquid diet and im hoping and praying when its over, i only eat soft things and dont "cheat"....maybe ta

4 days in and emotional....

So im not one to hide the fact that im trying to get healthy, mainly because im embarressed and want people to know that im trying to do something about it. I went to church today and i was prayed for because i was having surgery and the comments people made really brought me to tears.

I know im supposed to be focused on healing and not weight loss yet but ive lost 8 pounds since surgery and its been only 4 days so im pro

Well I better try to calm down so I sleep. Next time I come on here I will be banded!

If he gets in there and cannot get to my stomach I will be devastated! Im not gonna think about the negative though, and im gonna just enjoy the process and know that im doing the right thing for myself! I got to meet other people today getting surg

Surgery in 2 days and scared of failure....

So my surgery is in 2 days and the only thing I keep thinking about is if im gonna fail at this or not. I think I just have such high expectations for myself that it's getting in my way. I have so much weight to lose and its overwhelming at times, know what I mean? I want to wear a size 12 but im a size 26 and that's a long way to go. Im excited im making this decision to have WLS but it's a long road ahead. I pray my body goes along with it all and just starts losing but I realize that I have t
