I am so sorry you are feeling that way. I have been eating like this the last meal I will ever consume again! (Not a healthy attitude)! I took the day off work today to prepare for what's to come, although it has consumed my every thought for the past 2 months. I am glued to the computer for advise which takes up a great deal of my spare time. Emotions haven't quite hit me yet, although expect over the course of the week on the liquid diet, reality will lick in. I have the added pressure of having to cook for 200 students, Breakfast and lunch for the remainder of the week! "Oh My"! I am here all day if you want to chat. I'm already planning a nap for later this afternoon to take up some time. Warm Wishes, Kerry

Thanks for the encouraging words, Kerry. And good luck this week with handling your own stress.

Pretty sure I am somewhat of a mess because I got negative crap from two friends over the weekend about my decision to have this surgery. Just got me into emotional overload. I am going to go out in the field and ride a few rounds in the tractor with my husband ant talk. He has a way of bringing me back around. Good luck on your liquids. I start tomorrow.:lol:

Oh, don't feel bad! It is a big step and you are just being normal! I haven't had the ups and downs yet emotionally, just want to eat like there's no tomorrow and luckily, my body isn't letting me. Last night as I was going to bed, the Lap Band commercial came on and I just got SO EXCITED!!!! I really wished my surgery had been today and not next Monday. I haven't been this anxious for something in so long. I think I am only scared/nervous because I have kids now. Surgery never bothered me before and all I think about is them. I'm sure when I get closer to the day, I'll be like you. I am getting snippy with my DH a lot more these past weeks. I don't think he realizes what a change it's going to be for the entire family. They need a "Lap Band Partner Bootcamp" like they had for when I was pregnant (Daddy Bootcamp). Just keep your eyes on the goal - Good Health and smaller clothes! :lol:

Two weeks to go....

I sooooo understand the "Last Supper" mentality as well as the well meaning "You don't need this, it's so EXTREME" talks from people.

Thanks everyone for your "Jazzy June" support. Looks like we all need some "you get me" therapy!

Thanks CathyChatts. I was originally scheduled for the 12th, but my Surgeon has jury duty, so he changed it to the 19th. What's a girl to do?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

    • eclarke

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
