One Week Until Surgery

Well at this time next week I will be at home recouping from my procedure. Things have passed by swiftly. I'm going to my first support group meeting tonight and am glad because I feel like I could use a little support. This past weekend was reeeeaaallly tough on the pre-op diet and I had one slip-up, which is discouraging. And honestly, I'm feeling a little depressed and not sure why. It will be good to get around some other people who are experiencing similar situations. I have been having one day full liquid then one day with a salad allowed. Today was my salad day, which obviously makes tomorrow my liquid day and being so hungry puts me in a crap mood. I'm dropping weight like nobody's business though and am down 15lbs. That's more than 1lb per day, which seems a little fast. Things are also complicated in my non WLS world, work is crazy, I've just interviewed for another job, my best friend is pregnant and sick, and others in my family are ill as well. All in all stressfull. I think that the day of surgery I might have to ask for some vitamin V as the nurse suggested...I wonder if she'll let me take any home?

Ill be with ya on the vitamin v too!!! I get banded on the 20th Good luck!!! I just joined the forum this evening I hope it will be a good support tool :-) Melissa

Hi Melissa - thanks for your comment and welcome to LBT. The 20th is my day as well. Good luck to you!
