I'm with you shae , my surgery is tomorrow at 7 am . Don't really know what to think. I was never afraid of the operation just i can't stand being hungry . I watched a dr phil show about the obesity debate and all i could think about was the excuses the heavy people were using. I would bet they would rather never had a issue with weight than be fat and proud. I say time to end excuses.

Hi Allie. My preop diet was tough . the first 3 days was horrible . I felt like i had a monster inside me that was crazy . My first night i came home from work and there was food all over the counters from my kids and i tweaked cause i was so hungry. It gets easier i can manage now.I had my wife keep the kitchen clean and food free. . Different doctors have different diets to shrink your liver. I can see from this how much i was eating (overeating), It's time for me to make some changes . I never cheated and lost about 10 lbs I havent lost any weight in 3 days my body is in starvation mode. My surgery is monday at 7 am . I'm a little nervous

Welcome . im a newbie too. I get banded monday at 7 am. On day 8 of pre op diet. I was heavy for about 20 years and am starting to have some health problems ,(knees , back and sleep apena). I didn't mind being heavy because most of my friends are about the same. You are fortunate as you are young and can change now and avoid these long term problems.
