I started my preop liquid diet today...and now I'm nervous!! All of a sudden, I'm wondering if I can do this! All I can think of is NOT eating... I need some words of encouragement!

I was nervous as well...I started mine yesterday and actually wasn't that bad. Even though I made my family my favorite dinner of meatloaf I was okay...smelled good but I managed. :) You will be okay. Good luck.

I was banded July 20th... started back to the gym this week... :-) if you need to crunch get a sugar free popsicle.. the Protein shakes kept me from being hungry... get out of the house!!!!!! DO something.. after the first couple days you will be fine... I feel great and am looking forward to my first fill on Aug 31!!! We were able to crunch on carrots and celery... good luck.. remember.. the best is yet to come!!!!!

Completely know how you feel. When I found out i was approved with my insurance, it became real to me that i was having it done, and i burst out crying, freaking out. My husband didn't know what to do with me, i was a mess. LOL

but i talked to a friend of mine who had it done 2 years ago and she talked me down and i was fine. It just became a reality to me! I too was wondering, how i will change my way of eating, not being able to eat certain things. Yes it sucks not being able to eat a deep dish pizza slice, but i know the consequences and would rather not vomit than try to enjoy a piece of pizza. It is just not worth it! You will learn what you can and can't have. Everyone is different. I have no problem with corn, rice or popcorn, but know people who can't eat those things. You just have to think about what you are eating every time and make good choices or they come back to get you, literally :)

Not banded yet and I expect I will be really nervous when my time comes, but here is my two cents anyway. Instead of thinking about NOT eating, think about NOT being fat, NOT being unhealthy, NOT being uncomfortable in your own skin.;)

      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.
