I am new to this site need some buddies to go through this with ! Surgery set for may 2nd anyone else scheduled in may???

It is totally a mental thing... I had not had any surgeries before my lap,band was placed on April 25th so I was very nervous about the actual surgery, but I was in and out in no time, with a blood transfusion, too!

Now, 5 days out, the mental trial is this liquid diet lol

Congrats girls on surgery dates and sticking to the diet.

Well today I had my first breakdown. 3rd day of liquids. Every day is harder, not easier. I am just so hungry today and feel so physically weak. I have had enough protein so far (50g) yet I have no energy. I feel frustrated.. I just went into my car and cried.

Hi daisychains7! I too had my first breakdown today- day 5 on liquids. I cried to my boyfriend saying "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry" oh well so dramatic!! This is hard stuff but I keep telling myself that one day soon I can have the things I like such as sushi!!! just hang tight and the days will go by quickly!

Day 1 of liquids and it really sucks!!! I'm hungry and I just want to eat, but I'm too determined to turn back now!

I know how you feel. I am not a crier but I am a mess today. We will get to the point where we can have our favorite foods again soon. Just have to remember that.

Yes, the hardest part is being around people. Mine is 10 days so after today, I will have 7 left. Think of it as 1 day at a time so you don't feel as overwhelmed

As hard as this is, I am proud of all of us for sticking to it. Before this journey I was hitting drive-thrus BETWEEN meals, eating 24/7. This is a huge difference.

Hi everyone! It's nice that we are all starting this journey together and can support each other.

I am getting banded on May 8th. Starting liquids on Saturday.

I'm getting banded May 8th too. Started low-calorie& low fat diet Sunday. Anyone else been told to get their gallbladder out?

I'm starving too!!!

Start my pro op diet tomorrow for two weeks, surgery on the 14th. Doing medifast meals and shakes.

Started my pre-op liquid diet and counting down the days until surgery! How is everyone doing on their pre-op diet ? Good luck everyone !

I start mines tomorrow. Feel like crying. But it's for a good cause. Good luck

I start mines also. How are you feeling about it?

I bought the pre-mix version of EAS Myoplex Lite(20g protein) & EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control (17g protein) both from Sam's club. They are really good in both vanilla & chocolate.

I only told 2 people my mom and my husband and of course my lapband family :-). There is no need for anyone else to know afterall what could they really contribute to my success! They never contributed anything now- I'm very excited and can't wait till my new beginning - May 18.

I feel the same way about telling others! May 7th is my surgery date!
