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?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
