Just remember this feeling and one day do the same for freshly sleeved people. Offer a kind word, or encouragement. We were all new to WLS at one point in time, I know I remember how scary it was in the weeks leading to getting my lapband. This time around I didn't have that time to think about anything, or worry since my stomach prolapsed into my band and I had to have emergency surgery. I got the thumbs up from insurance on may 7th at like 6pm, and had surgery on May 8th and 7am. I had to stop and buy my post-op diet on my way home from the hospital. I had done my research, and knew what I wanted to do, but I didn't think it would be an emergency surgery. I didn't have to do the pre-op diet, because of my band issues I was on Clear Liquids for several weeks prior to surgery, since anything I attempted to eat came right back up. And my advice for getting liquids in, I was told by the nurse when I was discharged to get a medicine cup from the pharmacy, and fill it to the 15 ML (one tablespoon) try to get that in my every 10 mins. That's what I did and it was soooo much easier than staring at a huge cup of liquids. It was a mental game, but it worked, and I felt like I was doing amazing because every 10 mins I was accomplishing something.

Great advise that I will take.
