I have been looking forward to the lap band procedure since the inception of the process about 8 months ago. Yesterday they called to set up the surgery and I was good until the nurse said that I had to start the clear liquid diet on December 22nd, and then she rattled on about food, etc...I am not sure that I heard anything else that she had to say because all I could think about was that--December 22nd and my life changes FOREVER!!!! I don't know if my reaction to this was because it was soooo soon, or that is is Christmas time or just the realization of the life changeing event about to happen. Please, respond to me and let me know if anyone else felt this way and then when you did do it was it ok? I don't know I am confused with my feelings right now and need some other input. Thank you in advanced!!!:help:

YES UG that is the same way I felt!!! This forum has helped me so much. The more I read from other posters the better I feel about it all. Good luck on yours, it is coming up very soon. Mine will be on Dec. 27. Enjoy the Rose Bowl....those nachos wouldn't taste very good all blended up anyway....lol
