Wondering if there are any surgeries for May?

I didn't want to mention the reason for my fear before because I don't want to spread negativity here, but I got freaked out when my friend told me about her daughter's experience. She suddenly vomited all over the table in a nice crowded restaurant! She had a bypass, not a band, and she did tend to keep overeating after her WLS, so I'm keeping in mind that I don't need to go down that path. I live alone and don't get out as often as most people because I use a wheelchair, so I'll have plenty of time to learn to eat while alone at home. I think the take away with that story is to follow the doctor's advice about post-op eating!

I'm also focusing on the idea that every day is another chance to succeed. After a bad week, I've ended up doing pretty well today. My eating is in line and I'm thinking about those old jeans that I might fit into pretty soon.

Samirax6, I'll bet those foods made with almond flour are delicious! I've never heard of almond flour.

Sitting at the hospital as we speak getting ready to do my pre-op. One week from today I will move into the land of the band! I'm getting nervous but am mostly excited. I'm ready to get it over with. My pre-op diet is going ok. I'm struggling with the fact that I want something salty SOOOOO bad! I have a Carnation Breakfast Essentials shake with 1/2 scoop protein powder 4 times a day and 1 Healthy Choice meal for supper. I just want this next week to go by quickly. However, I still have a few things I need to get done beforehand. Best of luck to us ALL!!!

Can you have chicken broth? Or maybe a pickle? I eat 1-2 pickles a day to curb my salty tooth!

I know have you feel at least you could have a healthy choice meal. Me only protein shakes, jello and broth. It's a struggle but I am hanging there, 5 more day to banded can't wait.

I'm excited for all of us and I hope everyone keeps posting their experiences. It helps so much to know others feel like I do and to get an idea of the little details about the whole thing. Sometimes I can't wrap my mind around the idea that it's going to actually happen because it's such a drastic change!

I agree about the changes. This site is wonderful I love how positive and helpful people are.

My last meal included pasta and sushi

Just wrote the longest status ever! 1 week away and the nerves and anxiety are heightened! Dam, I thought the more I knew of what is going to occur the more it eases my mind, but now I am very nervous just for the procedure

sooooo, one thing I didn't think about when I started the pre-op diet: pms. today is miserable, and I gained a pound, which I think is from bloat, because I def haven't had enough food to gain.

hoping these cramps and cravings will go away; those symptoms, plus a rainy day here in VA is making this day no fun, so far.

Betty, hope you day gets better. Don't worry that pound will come back off and than some. It has been in the 90's here I'll trade you a little sun for your rain.

@@bobomarge thank you! feeling a little better after some pamprin! no real appetite right now, though.
