My surgery is scheduled for April 4, 2006, and I am so excited but yet a little nervous about being put under. But, I know GOD is in control so that is what keeps me focused!

Heyas Carla.. I guess we should start out with a prayer for your resurrection, since you'll most likely be dead from the starvation. *winks*

Seriously, it sounds like you know where your faith in your future lies. You will be in our prayers for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. God bless.

Angelu: Congrats and best of luck to you! I too am nervous about being put out but more nervous about being put out for life if my weight dont change so I will do this instead (hehehehe).....God will see us through...dont worry..and good luck

Photonut: Girl...I am about passed out from lack of nutrition Imma dyin here from starvation (hehehehehe) just teasing....its okay....and well worth it...

Thanks so much to both of you....

Much love

Carla

Congrats and best of luck for a speedy recovery.

Carla, I was just banded on thursday......the first two days i thought to my self what was i thinking because of the pain but now on the third and fourth day i am so happy, Ive already lost 16 pounds since my pre op diet and i havent ate in so long that i dont even have an appetite so just stick with the pre op diet and after a while you wont even miss food because its almost like your body adjusts, even though in your head you will still think about food.....the more protein i drink the more satisfied i feel and sugar free fudge pops are great too....

Hang in there Carla and congrats on the surgery date! I think docs that have the liquid diet requirement are quite likely Satan's spawn. Keep us updated and wishing a safe passage to BandLand!

Carla, good luck on your surgery tomorrow! I'll be praying for your speedy recovery.

This is your last day of starvation, Carla! Aren't you excited!?

How are ya doing? Getting nervous? The Monday bandsters are back and checking in. As you can tell, they are sore but geesh, if Leener can do it without painkillers... aw, nevermind...she's nuts *grins*

Good luck, Carla! I had mine done yesterday in Houston. I was nervous about the anesthesia, too. All went well and I know yours will too. I prayed all the way down the hall to surgery, it helped me feel a little less anxious.

Carla, you do know about the two weeks of liquids after surgery, don't you? *grin* That's what the doc put my DW on. Then a week of mushies. He's a bit over cautious, but she hasn't had any problems.....
