This is my first day of preop. I am allowed three shakes a day. This is giving me huge anxiety. It seems like when you can't have food you think about this. I think this is going to be really hard.

Has anyone followed the weight watchers program after getting the band? Just curious if it worked out.I haven't told anyone I weigh but they usually guess 65 pounds lighter than I really am. Even my surgeon asked me if I was sure about the surgery. I can't lose weight on my own. I need this procedure.Do we really have to be off caffeine? I saw it was recommended due to dehydration but I drink tons of water. I'm going to miss carbonated drinks.It is good to hear. I'm also on metformin. Would like to get off of it. I am losing my hair so bad. Anyways did you lose weight preop? I have to do only three Protein shakes a day two weeks before surgery.Is there anyone out there that had pcos and was able to lose weight with the band? I'm worried I won't lose weight even with the right tools.If I lost ten pounds per month I will be close to goal. I will go crazy shopping for clothes.I'm not telling anyone about my surgery because of that exact feeling. I wonder why I couldn't do it on my ownI'm just so scared of failure. Being hungry all the time. It seems a lot of people talk about hunger. I am a big Water drinker. Can I drink as much and as quick as I want after surgery?Hi Everyone I haven't got banded yet. I'm starting to freak out. Please tell me this is normal and everything will be ok. I'm scared. Why did I fail at other diets and why do I think this one will work? So much self doubt.I am just on three protein shakes a day. I haven't started preop yet. We will see.I'm sorry I just realized I don't use optifast. Thanks anywaysNo carbonated beverages? My Perrier. Oh noI would be interested. PM me.I have the joy of being gluten intolerant so I've cut out so much already. It sucks.I'm February 8th. Can't wait to get it done. I'm in Ontario so I have to pay.Thank you. I am going through with it. My first thought was they probably didn't want to eat right anymore. Got sick of trying. What do you think?This article really scared me. Really scared me. What do you think? http://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/study-cites-high-lap-band-complication-removal-rates-1.624831My doctor said two weeksThe doctor seriously said flintstone vitamins?
