Roo, my band date is 8/30 also, not feeling nervous, probably i'm lucky that I have been so busy that all I have time to do is think about what I need to do to be prepared for my post op life! Good luck!
-
Not feeling nervous yet, not about the surgery anyway, more about trying to plan and have the right things to drink and keep me satisfied post op!

No special diet restrictions for me, I needed to lose 15# preop, I have done that and finished all my appointments so I am on my own until surgery on 8/30. I had been doing well, had actually lost another 8#, but the last 2 days have seen me really backslide...I am trying to get my eating back under control, but the thought of 2 weeks of liquid diet postop has me wanting to eat everything in sight!
-
What kind of preop diet are you on? Once I lost the required 15# I didn' have any special diet, but am trying to be smart about what I eat.

Would love to be part of this group. My date is August 30th, and I am glad I am not the only one suffering from a month long problem with last supper syndrome!:help:

I am scheduled for 8/31 in upstate NY. I found out my surgery date a week ago and have wanted to eat everything in sight ever since! I had to lose 15# before I could have surgery, now I am afraid I will gain most of it back in the next month. I really need to get a grip on this!!
