Ok, I know it's stupid, but I have never been very superstitious, but when I got my date, I was so excited. But I just realized this past week that it's Friday the 13th. My husband is getting his surgery this friday on the 6th and he's happy as heck. But I can't help but think that I need to change my date. I know that will probably push back the surgery maybe even a month. Give me some advice, should I change my date, or just push through this feeling that I am having. :lol::confused2: My husband says for me to do whatever I want, but he won't even change dates with me, which is making me worry more.

What do you think?:thumbup:

DOnt worry about it. Friday the 13th is nothing more than a superstition. Focus on why you are doing this and nothing else. I know I will since my surgery date is the 13th also! Good luck!!

My date is also the 13th....I am not worried, it all started when the templars got killed on that date all over Europe...maybe knowing the origins will help!

I think it will be fine!

Congrats June Bandsters! I'm so excited to be joining the ranks this month (19th). I'm also looking forward to sharing the journey together. It's helped so much to read what others are going through and to get tips and suggestions, but most of all ENCOURAGEMENT!

Personally, I think superstitions only have the power you give them. To me it's just another date and therefore it has no power over me. Hey, I had my first date with my husband on a Friday the 13th, 34 years ago. I always call it my lucky day!

Thirteen is a baker's dozen -- just one more of a good thing.

I am on my preop diet and am counting down the days. I get banded on June 10th up to this point I was not really nervous and just somewhat excited but now I am getting butterflies from being nervous and excited. How is everyone else feeling?

I am just realizing how much food means to me. I can't wait to eat to live instead of living to eat! Agree?

I'm pretty lucky because, as far as I know, I don't have a pre-op liquid diet. I just have to eat the regular pre-op diet...1200 calories, Protein, vegetables, etc. Kaiser required that I lose so many pounds to see the surgeon, which I did, then gave me the surgery date. So as long as I continue to lose, I'm ok.

I hope this goes right. This is my first post. I will be banded on Friday June 13th. Scary, I know. I'm not too superstitious though. I think everything will be fine. I'm starting to get really nervous. I've had enough time to be excited, now it's just the nerves, lol. Anyway, if anyone has any advice on how to relax a little it would certainly be appreciated. :lol:

      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!

      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!!
