I'm so glad to hear you aren't hungry. I have read so many things about people saying that they are hungry so it makes me a little nervous. But this isn't supposed to take away hunger all together, just makes you hungry like a normal person and prevent snacking. If I get hungry every 5 or so hours than thats fine cause I can eat my little meal and be done with it...like normal people lol. The controlling of the portions is whats really going to help me too! How much weight have you lost so far? Thats another thing i'm curious about is how much will come off right away.

I am going into this totally positive and that this is going to change my life for good! If I have that attitude this will work! I have my last pre-op appt tomorrow with my surgeon just to ask questions I have a whole list of them lol! 4 more days...

Well I am actually an end of may bandster. 4 more days! May 24th. All the may people I've talked to are like 3 days out from surgery. I'm so close but these last 2 weeks have felt like the longest in my life! I am so excited but getting really nervous too. Not about the surgery at all but the after...Whats gonna happen? Am I going to be hungry? Everything! I need a band buddy LOL. So if anyone wants to team up with me it would be awesome and I can help you to and let you know what to expect as well!:laugh:

I'm really not nervous about the surgery part of it. I've had a few surgeries so they are pretty routine now. I am worried about after. Are u hungry at all? That's what my mom is worried about. She thinks it will be really easy for me as long as I'm not hungry. The few people I have told have been really great about it and really excited for me but my hesitation in telling people is that when I start to lose weight they wont think its "real" because I had surgery. People dont understand how hard it actually is. Its hard enough without all the judgment.

I'm a little worried about that stage too LOL. Are u hungry at all?

Yeah this is my first day on the site too. I haven't told many people that I am doing this so it really limits the people I can talk to about it. I have found it really helpful and its nice to find a new group of people that knows what I'm going through.

Yay! I'm scheduled for surgery on the 24th too! I'm starting to get really nervous about it all but sooo excited too! How are you dealing with all of this?

I'm so excited for surgery but starting to get nervous too. What should I expect??

I wasn't told to do a liquid diet or anything before surgery. My surgery is on Monday. I wonder why??
