Anyone else getting banded in December? If so lets keep in touch until our day.

My big fear is vomiting! I think I have Emetophobia.

Omg im doin so well im having tomatoe basil soup n light vfusion im glad im in class if i was driving il be focused on different foods chicken etc

IM MY OWN MOTIVATION

I wish i could have soup or juice!!! Im still starin over here

Im not scared to vomit but i am scared the band will slip if i vomit

That scares me too. I'm not worried about the surgery.

This is my 2nd day of the pre-op diet, I'm still starving too.

Y cant u drink soup or juices????

IM MY OWN MOTIVATION

You starvin im on day one im saying its all in my head i did my last soup for the night im full jello cooling

IM MY OWN MOTIVATION

Soup and juice have calories and sugar. Thats not allowed for the diet. Otherwise it would be easy! I would love some right now lol. Day 6 down!

I'm down 5 lbs after gallbladder surger and meeting my surgeon tomorrow for my 2 week post op visit..Then Dec 7th is my lap band surgery...how much are we expected to lose in the pre op diet? Any thoughts?

My doctor didn't specify a certain number of pounds to lose during preop. They said the point of the preop diet is to shrink our livers and if we lose weight it's an added bonus. That being said...I started my preop diet on 11/20 and I've lost 16lbs so far:)

Hi all, I am not on a pre-op diet because my BMI is lower...I am self pay. Here is my worry, I lack will power when it comes to food in general (which is why I think lap band will help) but the delima in my mind is if I am so weak minded now that I couldn't lose weight on my own, how will I do it when I have the lap band? Im being banded 12-18 and have bought books on emotional eating, etc. but I do worry about it a lot. The one thing i have going for me is I work out a lot which in turn burns some of the calories I eat. I've made the decision in my mind to do this I just do have this worry that I will fail. Am I the only one worried about this? Thank you

Studies have shown that the more moolah a person shells out the more successful they are. That being said, if you're like me this is my last chance to get my eating under control. I don't think I'm weak. I start to rationalize reasons for stopping diets i.e. I'm sick of it, I want to eat like everyone else, it's too hard with my schedule....

The reason I overeat most of the time, I'm hungary and I have no sense of portion control! This will help with both of those. GOODLUCK!
