My surgery is this Monday the 22nd I'm going from lap band to gastric bypass, when I had to do my liquid diet before the lap band I did awesome but this time the last three days I broke down and ate! Anyone else having trouble sticking to the diet? now I'm worried my liver hasn't shrunk enough before monday? Feeling like a failure!! :/

Hi.

I'm sure if you've still lost weight your liver will have shrunk. It's ok, and best of luck xox

I too am going from the band to the gb (on the 27th). I have to have open surgery and I'm freaking a bit because I have been there and done that and it was bad bad bad.

Anyhow... the things we do hey

I've had the band for three years and it's been nothing but problems, Instead losing weight I've gained 60 pounds!!! Can't wait to get it out, but I'm nervous I won't loose weight with the bypass and it will be like having the band all over again! Ugh! And I'm pretty sure pms is making me cheat on my diet lol I'm craving food sooooooo bad!!!

I know what you mean. I have the same fears.

I read all the posts on here, the good, the bad and the ugly and I want to believe that the good posts will be like what will happen to me. But I also know that this is how I felt with the band and how it works for some and not for others.

I am prepared to stick to all the guidelines for the long haul but I'm afraid because my body quickly gets used to less calories and stops losing. I think there's really no getting around it... damned if I do and damned if I don't lol.

All I can do is HOPE that this time will be different, and I hope that for you too maddy78 xox

You ain't fail every doctor is different .... My doctor allowed me to have one meal a day under 500 calories... Which was hard cause I was on vacation the two weeks before my surgery .... Just make sure you drink plenty of Water ..... Good luck and God Bless you during your journey
