Hello, Im new to this website. i actually just kinda came across it tryna find some lap band stories and i must say u guys seemed pretty supportive.im scheduled for surgery on May 10th and I started my clear liquid diet today. Ive had a protein shake this morning and water. Im terried that i might get hungry later this is almost the scariest part to me. To go from eating bad to eating nothing...Im goin to get thru it tho with some supporters. I need this surgery bad i have a severe case of sleep apnea which has gotten worse wit the weight increase. I also broke my ankle last year and i gained weight just sitting around wit my leg proped up. The doctors said my leg healed fine but wit all the weight it sometimes bothers me. I have a 18month old son that i cant run and play with because i really cant breathe. So i knew i had to do something, Being only 29 and having to sleep wit a breathing machine was not attractive at all to me. So here i go on my new journey trying to stay positive and look at the brighter side of things. i must say tho im am gettin a lil nervous the closer the date gets.. But i think ill do ok..
