I have not had a fill for about a month and 1/2. I am not doing well either. I lost 23 lbs gained about 5 back and not doing anything right. I am now feeling nauseus after I eat for a while and then I get ok. Has anyone else experienced this and can you give me some kind of examples of how you are doing so well.

Hey Becky,

I am getting banded next Wednesday too. I am doing the pre op diet. High protein low carbs. I am excited and getting a little jittery too. I pray God will be with us all and we will get a new lease on life.

I had the same thoughts. I think it is probably normal. I even had my family say why don't you just diet and exercise? Fear of the unknown. But if you will search in your mind and remember all the diets you have been on and how successful you weren't and how frustrating it was to swallow another feeling of failure I think you will realize that this is our hope of being normal and healthy. I too finished my six months and they just sent everything into the insurance I was approved less than 24 hours. I believe God has worked everything out for me to have this surgery because otherwise I don't have much quality of life ahead of me. The doctor has already told me that the weight is going to kill me. You need to do some soul searching and be very sure when you do this because this is only a tool a friend to be there with you while you make life changes in your eating patterns. You have to decide are you going to live to eat or eat to live. Good Luck in your decision.

When is your surgery scheduled? Mine will be in October if I passed my cardiac testing. I should find out today. I was trying to start my diet early so when I do see the surgeon he may do mine earlier. What exactly are you eating on your diet?

Stop worrying about little things. I am sure your husband will be fine he needs to learn how to take care of himself and the house. This is the best thing for him. You need to focus on yourself. Be prepared for what lies ahead for you. If you are going to walk around and worry about everything then you will not be able to give this your all. Remember this is only a tool. Just go tomorrow morning optimistic trusting that God will be with you and everything will be good. Say a prayer and everything will be taken care of and you can start your journey to a wonderful life of being healthy and happy. Good Luck!
