So my surgery is Tuesday and I'm getting very nervous. Had the band out a little over a month ago. I think my main short term concern is that I am going to be miserably hungry during the liquid and mushy weeks like I was when I got the band. My long term concern is that I will be unsuccessful as I was with the band and have some of the same

Problems, barfing, pain, and feeling crappy all the time.

Congratulations on the surgery!!!!Yay!!!

Nervous...normal but faith and A higher power is on your side.Prayers are in order.Positive light surrounds you.Take a deep breath ,close your eyes and see a future picture of yourself.Slim and healthy.

The crappy band that you and I should of never elected for is out of your body!!!You are going to be fine...not perfect fine...I know the feeling you have...we have become "involuntary bulimics".I get so hungry sometimes and I crave that piece of chicken or turkey burger...protein...my body craves it when I eat too many carbs...I eat it and depending on the day and how the band decides to accept it......oh no....here it goes the barf and slime,heave and vomit ...then I get hungrier because part of what I ate Has been partially have thrown up.I am always hungry!!!incidentally,chocolate or a piece of cake goes down fine...it's a weird roller coaster.....so yeah you feel as though those mushy weeks are a killer because we are always worried about food...which has been made worse due to the band....you are going to be fine...drink teas and come up with great recipes for liquids and soft foods...then you are going to get that feeling ...that feeling of losing weight....you see your thighs and waist shrinking....oh yeah...you are on your way !!!! you will succeed the worse is over....no more lapband torture.
