I'm on day 10 of a liquid pre-op diet..it's been better than I had feared but I'm still hungry. I swear this diet is eating away my brain cells! It's hard to concentrate!

My surgery is at 7 am tomorrow (June 3) and I'm both excited and nervous. I want to lose this weight once and for all, but it's still surgery and a big change to my relationship with food.

Good luck to all my fellow June bandsters! This time tomorrow I'll be banded!!

Yay! You're going to do great just try and relax, I know it's hard but everthing will be ok. Keep us posted on how you're doing!

@@LoseIt4Ever you'll do great! i'm about 3 weeks post-op, so i was in your shoes only a few weeks ago. i'm SO happy with my decision. yes, its changed my relationship with food forever, but food and i had a very abusive relationship in the first place. you'll do great, keep a positive attitude and you can do whatever you want!

Hi there and congratulations! I feel like my relationship with food is healthier than it's ever been. I eat when I'm hungry and if I'm not hungry I don't eat. It's so simple, whereas before I had constant chatter in my head about whether or not I was on a diet, off a diet, about to go on a diet, etc. No more! The appetite monster is off of my back and now I can make good choices. I still really enjoy my food, just in smaller amounts at appropriate intervals. Before I ate so fast and I was always thinking about what would be next -- now I am in the moment when I'm eating and I'm able to really experience it fully. But when I'm not hungry I'm not obsessing about food. It's pretty much a miracle as far as I'm concerned! Best wishes to you for a fine day tomorrow. Don't forget to walk all you can.

@LoseIt4Ever, Yay, I'm so happy for you! Tomorrow is my big day, too! You will be in before me, my surgery time is at 2:00pm. I'm getting more nervous as the day goes, but I am not doubting my choice for one minute! Good luck to you and keep us posted on how you're doing.

Weeviegurl good luck to you!

Good luck to you both! I was banded/plicated

Oops!

... On May 22nd and travelling nicely. Focussing on healing for now, I haven't weighed myself yet post-op.

Thanks to all for thoughts and well wishes. My surgery went well and I was discharged late yesterday. I felt no hunger at all until today, but it doesn't feel like my old hunger pains. Maybe it's has, though! I'm on Clear liquids but moving to full liquids tomorrow.

Looking forward to being past the surgery recovery and making progress on weight loss!

Congrats! Take it easy the next few days and listen to your body. Welcome to the family!!!!
