want_so_bad

<p>so monday-the 24-i start my 10 day pre-op liquid diet. i am so excited. i cant believe its so close! finally, a real answer to this problem i have had for my entire life. i cant wait. but i am starting to get nervous. what will i look like thin? what if i still hate me when i am thin? what will my dh think? family? friends? i am not telling anyone, how will i handle the questions? will there be questions? will people even notice? omg, what if nobody notices? what will it be like? will i lose fast? sorry...and these are just a few of whats runnin through my head!</p> <p> </p> <p>i know there are a few others headed for surgery on the 4th. how are you all feeling?</p> so i think i posted this in the wrong spot maybe? i reposted it on its own thread too. sorry! just figuring all this out..

omg, its stupid people day! i swear. i just need to vent for a minute, figured you all could understand my pain... i work in the office at a tire store. we had this guy call and get prices for a certain size...no problem. he then calls back for prices for a DIFFERENT size tire. i tell him the price. he tells me i am wrong and that he just spoke w/ my boss (the owner) who told him that the price was such and such. i said, yes, but that was for that size. he keeps tellin me i am wrong! hello stupid! not every tire of a particular style and brand are the same price!!! he gets all pissy w/ me and says, i will just speak w/ your boss. FINE, he will tell you the same thing! which he did. urghh....today has just been one of those days! we are incredibly busy and behind and the computers arent working......yeah, having a small pity party...lol. thanks for letting me vent!

whoa--i didnt even think of that! i am so glad you mentioned it. i did take a couple yesterday, but quickly remembered why i had stopped. i was sick to my stomach and shakey and grumpy. thanks!

or chewable? dont want to limit responses. what vitamins are doing best you everyone? thanks!

i was just wondering what liquid vitamins everyone uses. i looked at an older thread and got a few ideas, but just wondering what else people were using and having luck with. thanks!

i just wanted to say that i enjoyed reading this post and all the responses. more then once, thanks to princess, i nearly fell outta my chair laughing.

i am feeling the same way. i too am scheduled for the 4th. i find myself wondering how life after this will be. what will i say to family/friends at gatherings? we are big into get togethers, bbq's at the brother-in-laws, entire family holiday meals...its kinda nerve racking. i am not telling anyone save for my dh, my mom, and 2 very close friends. i dont want to have to explain any of it to people. i am an emotional eater, how will i "deal" w/ things when i dont have the comfort of food to turn to? omg, i have like a million questions i could ask that just dont have a solid answer. glad to know i am not alone in my nervous anticipation. :nervous

nicole. thanks for the list.

for those of you with around that much to lose, how much did you lose before your first fill. i have found lots of posts about how much people have lost to begin with. i was just wanting to narrow it done to people with about the same as me. i have been told that the more you have to lose, the faster your loss is to begin with. thanks!

<p>i am to start my pre-op diet on the 9-24. i have to do clear liquids the first 5 and then liquids the second 5. so my question is, can you take diet pills during this time? you know, something to help squash the hunger? do you get terribly hungry? i dont even know...i am so excited to get started, but also kinda nervous, like, what if i cant do it? but i can, i know i can, i want this so bad and have waited SO long to be thin! like my whole life! thanks for the help.</p>

i didnt qualify for surgery in the states, so i am headed to mexico oct 4 w/ dr huacuz. i dont know if the hospital will require pre-pmyt or not. you could always ask them, and ask them if you could set up some sort of pymt plan?? best of luck.

nan42--- i am the same way. my bmi is on the lower end and i couldnt find a doctor in the states that said i qualified for the band. i am being banded oct 4 in tj, mexico by dr daniel huacuz. he has banded several people i know and everyone has great things to say about him and the care you receive. i know his staff as been incredibibly helpful this far.

ok, so i am seriously having a hard time! i am eating everything and thinking of what else i want to eat "for the last time" even though i know its not really going to be like that. i have a countdown going in my head until sept 24--the day i start my 10 day pre-op liquid diet. i posted before i have this sick way of rationalizing what i am doing b/c i am not gaining any weight from my little binges...not good though. and i know this! the scale has been going down a pound or two and back to what it is, but never higher. maybe i am not binging as bad as i think i am? oct 4 is just around the corner. i am so excited. i keep picturing all the cute clothes i will finally be able to fit into. omg, for the first time in my life, i will be thin!!! its an amazing thought, a scary thought, allmost overwhelming, ya know?

i have yet to see where these parking spaces REPLACE a handicap space. around here, they are located after those designated for the handicap. i agree w/ the other poster, i dont think you have small children! and just why does it bother you so? whats the problem?

i just posted in the other thread for october but will do so again here. i am scheduled for oct 4 w/ dr huacuz in Mexico. i cant wait. this seems to finally be the answer for a life time struggle! i have to do a liquid diet 10 days prior to surgery. right now though i am definately on a crash course last meal sort of plan. then i feel super guilty and do good for a few days, then panic and binge. i am staying steady at my weight so i justify it to myself in some sick way. any ideas on how to get myself under control a bit better? i am so excited, but also getting nervous. i have just 2 weeks left to before i start my pre-op diet. the thought of it finally being so close is exciting and scary all at the same time.

<p>i get banded oct 4! i am so excited. not too much longer! i have to do a liquid diet for 10 days prior. i am a little nervous about that, but i want this so badly i dont think it should be too big a problem for me. i am having my procedure done in mexico by dr huacuz. has anyone else used him? i have a friend that did and several of her friends and family have and they are all doing great, its just amazing to see the before and after pictures. i cant wait to be an "after"!</p>
