Ok so the date is set and I am getting anxious..(Fri the 18th)I am binge eating and lol the whole time, knowing in my mind I am not doing myself any good. But can't seem to resist.I have heard from so many that they are on liquids before surgery and I have not been given any instructions to do so. Preop is Wed. I am worried about this though. Please give me thoughts and suggestions to get through the week. Although I am excited I can definately say the nerves are setting in...:(

Follow your doctor's orders and you will be all right. Just remember, habits that are started now will make it easier after you are banded (ex. eating slowly, healthier and reasonable portions). My pre-op was a breeze. The hardest part was finding the danged hospital (in a city I dislike and have visited only a couple of times 20 years ago). To be honest, I'm nervous a little about the surgery and the recovery. I'm also nervous about my life afterward. This is a big step and it sounds to me like you are binge eating out of sheer nervousness. Maybe instead of eating you could try meditation, calm music, hot bath, or whatever has calmed you down in the past.

I am going to be banded friday too!,and because of prayer and the thought that this is saving my life instead of how i will look is my driving desire, Father God and the lord Jesus Christ if you only ask will grant you the peace that you need to get through this defining monent in your life.

so i wish you peace and blessings.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
