Right there with ya! you said everything I am feeling. Surgery is dec6!

The class had to be done or I couldn't be scheduled for surgery. Good information in the class.

I started today as well, but it isn't a liquid diet. I drink 3 shakes a day and have choice of salad and protein OR a lean cuisine dinner less than 300 cal and at least 14 g protein and got a few freebies here and there like jell-o , cucumbers, gum, etc. Was told tomorrow I can have chicken or turkey with green beans. Good luck! My surgery is dec 6.

Husband made comment yesterday that he has 2 days left of time off at work and he was joking around, why couldn't I chose suregery on a Monday or Friday, now he wil work a day and be off. So, I am taking this as he is coming with me! That made me happy. But a little worried too, I have never been sick or in hosptial , so unsure how it will go.

Wow! I work 2 jobs, one is a desk job and one at a restrauant, on my feet for 3 1/2 hours after doing my 8 hr desk job. I do it 3 days a week. I have said I will retrun to both in 6 days. Thats my plan!

Wow! That sounds ok to me. I want mine ot be a breeze too! I am scheduled to have surgery at 11am on 12/6,Tuesday. I am hoping to have surgery and return to my desk job the following Monday, sooner if I feel like it. Don't won't to waste my vacation time. How soon are you able to drive? Got kid at college I am supposed to pick up that weekend. Thanks!

Yesterday, I went to talk with mom, tried to explain a few things to her and she seemed more supportive. She said she wants me to do what I feel is right for me but she is terrfied of this surgery and the cons. Husband also yesterday was a little more understanding, he just asked that I wait till after Christmas, we don't do anything big or special for Christmas, small family just gets together and eat dinner. He asked me what am I going to say when family is used to seeing me eat plate after plate and then I am only eating soft foods and not much at all. I said I will tell them I am on a diet, they have all heard that before! Or we just won't go, he always gives me a hard time about going to these family dinners, so thought we could skip it and then he says oh, well I got to eat! I said there you go, just thinking of you! Mom and husband still didn't say if either one of them is going to hosptial with me or not. I really think I want my mom to go, I feel my husband is really scared of what may happen to me and has never seen me in pain or sick. I have only had a c-section and endometrios surgery through belly button and he wasn't with me on either time. I like your comments and needed to hear them all. I have been on diets, to where I have a support system or it was a contest and I wanted to win or a vacation I wanted to go on and loose 40 pounds, but then I would win the contest, go on vacation and then right back gaining weight, I feel the band will be my lifelong support in helping me to win daily. Does this make sense to any of you? I try to explain this to people that are not overweight and they don't get it. Thanks for website !! But ain't going to lie, I am scared !! I really am hoping I can make the right choices and hope my surgery is easy like some of the post I have read.

That is my plan!!!

I ride a 2009 Honda Shadow 750 Spirit and my husband rides a 2007 Honda 1300 VTX. We love to ride! I am scheduled for surgery Dec 6. Really excited and scared! Wondering how it will be in 40 yrs from now having the band in my body?
