I'm going in on Monday the 8th. I've been on liquids since sept 24th. That has been very difficult. Good luck to you.

Oh guess what!!!!!! I just checked my calendar and I'm premenstrual!!!! That's where all of the doubt, insecurity and sadness is coming from!!!! LOL. Isn't that crazy?!?!?! I know u will be back to normal by surgery day the 7th. Darn Mother Nature.....

Alright alright alright. No need to bash my bf cause he is my only support system. Him bring afraid that something bad will happen does not constitute childish or selfishness. I love me but I also value his opinion. It is simple as that. I have no family and a few close friends. Maybe I didn't explain myself well enough. I just was saying I am afraid to tell him because I know how I felt about WLS when I first heard about it. My point is I'm already having uncertainties right now. Now is not the time to try to convince someone when you aren't 100%. Somebody on this planet has to understand where I'm coming from. I can't be in this alone....

You guys are all completely right. I know the decision is about me. And maybe I'm just using him as a scapegoat cause I'm scared outta my mind. I woke up with all doubt in my mind. I feel much better now that I have gotten up and moved around a bit. I'm only thinking he won't be supportive cause I mentioned it earlier this year and he had a fit. He is afraid something bad will happen to me. He is just uneducated about it as I was in the beginning. I'm going to give it time. I know as soon as he sees how happy it has made me, he will be okay with it. Thank you guys sooo much....

I'm so close to calling to cancel my surgery. I'm so scared today. I think it is because I haven't told my BF and he is gonna be so mad. I know he won't understand though. I believe once he sees that it still takes hard work, he will be okay with it. Not having his support before hand is stressing me out even more. I really don't know what to do.

I am ALL liquids. I find it harder at night. I work night shift but even when I am at home, I have the emptiest feeling in the world. Its almost like mourning. That is the feeling I am afraid of......I am gonna keep trying my best.

I am absolutely starving. I feel so empty inside with no real food.

3rd day of preop diet and I want to eat my own arm off.....

I am the same way. High Bmi but healthy as a horse. No problems getting approved. Oct 8 th is my band day....

Thanks everyone!!!!! I have never been more scared. I guess I think of it like when I got pregnant. This is gonna hurt but my life will be changed forever for the better.....

My dietician told me about them. I think I will give them a try.

These threads sound just like me. I am getting banded 10/8 and I haven't told my boyfriend or family. I actually told them I am having my gallbladder out. I'm so afraid of them not understanding. Or them saying that I haven't tried hard enough. I have. I don't know what to say to them. I just need someone who understands what I'm going through. Please.... In desperate need of a friend......

I can't wait to be able to wear sleeveless shirts and to not have to worry if my shirt is riding up on my butt in the back!!!!
