lol thanks guys it really was not that bad!

First off, you are not a failure. It is time to stop thinking that way. This is a long journey with lots of ups and downs and you have just begun,
When I first started I kept a journal, a notebook (not a computer app). I would list what I ate, when I ate it and how I was feeling at the time and anything else that was on my mind. What I found was some patterns and trigger points (times) to watch for. Now when those triggers resurface I recognize them and do something to stop them (go for a walk, drink Water, etc..) I learned to fight the head hunger and feed the physical hunger,
You can do this.

Same here im 7 days out and I eased myself on my side with a bidy pillow. Felt like the best nite sleep ever!

Getting even more ecxited to be banded on Friday! im glad we all have each other for support.

lesile i was terrified (especialy) after reading other peoples stories. Let me just tell you its really not that bad. The worst part so far is the soreness...but no worst then doing a bunch ot sit ups. Good luck. Keep in touch.

All went well, my doc even fixed a hernia! A little sore, but drinking Water, taking meds and resting. I hope tomorrow is just as good. I still an beleive its done. Excited to begin this journey.

Its been a long jurney. Tomorrow i will get my surgery date and i feel cold feet coming on!!!! So, i went to the site and googled some questions... everything i read was negative. Ughhhh not what i wanted to hear. I know im ready to make the changes and commitment. Im most scarred of throwing up daily, not being able to eat with others, not loosing any weight all (i read a few stories where people said they never lost weight),etc... Can anyone share a positive expereince?

Seriously... thankyou!!! That is exactly what i needed to here. :-)

And anxiety attacks are the worst. I'm sure you'll be fine. My partner had an anxiety attack a few months ago bc she thought she was dying. We went to the emergency room for them to run two tests of everything just to be sure then they told her she was fine.. All tests were perfectly normal.. Left the hospital with a nearly 4k hospital bill..
Maybe breathing and medatation will help for the mean time :/
