I am getting banded on June 4th, I would love to be buddies with you! Are you doing a pre-op diet? I am on day 2 of liquids and am really missing food!

Hi! I am scheduled for June 4th and am on day 2 of my liquid diet. It has not been as hard as I thought it would be but it definitely is hard. Right now I am seriously struggling for some food! I am really nervous about the pain - I have never had surgery before and am SO SCARED it is going to hurt afterwards!!!

I have a somewhat low BMI too - I am about 38. I am really excited but keep having moments where I am like, am I really going to undergo surgery by choice? My beloved boyfriend is supportive of me but is understandably wary of the entire process. My family is not necessarily supportive and I haven't really told that many other people. I wouldn't say I am having doubts, I am sure I want to go through with it because I realize there is no other way it will come off, I am just uneasy or wary. I am trying to think of the right way to express it. Sort of like, in reality, I know this is the right thing to do, but then there is this side of me that is like, really? You have to have a surgery to help you be not fat? I would love to know your thoughts, if you ever felt this way and how you feel now, looking back on your decision to get the band. Thanks!
