No coffee at all....just water..:(

I'm with you guys....I'm nervous and am having a terrible time sleeping as well. The "what if" game keeps playing in my head! :'(

Me too. My op date is jan 14????. Hang in there everything will be fine. Think happy thoughts.

I start my liquid diet today.... my surgery is on the 22nd I'm so nervous I hope I can make it the next 12 days without food. ....any advise? ?

I had my sugery January 2. I was really miserable the first week. Right now I still have trouble walking since I get winded. I've lost 20 pounds so far but I'm not going to lie......I regretted it the whole week. I'm a very positive person so I'm surprised I'm acting this way. On to my second week. Fingers crossed.

I am on day 5 of my pre-op and I feel full all the time. Just make sure you get your protein and water in. What is your diet consist off?

Started my diet today, feeling pretty good because I can have fruit and veggies and yogurt! 10 days till surgery and I am getting very anxious. But nonetheless, excited!

I stared my diet yesterday. Today is much harder, I hope it gets better. 10 days and counting! Sunday I have to do my bowel prep, so clear liquid only. I hope this week goes fast! Good luck everyone.

Take it one day at a time!

I was banded Jan. 7th. I stayed in hospital over night and have been home for two days now. Had a lot I soreness, but it is getting better. I'm still not hungry or able to get a lot down. I have very little energy. I get up walk around a little and then have to lay back down. I guess this is normal.

Kcamp- I am on day 10 and I have to say Day-2 was my hardest I had really bad headaches Day-3 physically felt 100% better but still felt urge to eat. Each day into my preop was a goal met and now I feel strong because I take it one day at a time and u would hate to feel th at I did it for bothing if I failed on my diet. GOOD LUCK!
