Hey everyone, just wanted to see if everyone else was as nervous as me. I'm getting banded on the 15th, just about a week from now and i'm getting really anxious for this. At times I wonder if I can do this, and when i'm eating i'm thinking should I be eating this, or i'm just plain confused about what I should be eating and calories and protein and what not.... ugh....Did anyone else or is anyone else feel like this???

I certainly was! I got banded on the 27th of June which was a week last Friday. I was so nervous I was making a mistake etc. I am glad it is done now and you will be as well. I already feel better. I go to the Doctor on the 10th ad I think I have lost around 10lbs. I know it will get harder but I can do it and so can you. I have not been hungry but a couple of times!

Happy dance for you. Stay positive and keep holding on to your "whys". Lots of dream robbers out there. Don't allow them to rain on your parade. "u" are about to become the new "u".. Keep us posted,and good luck...memom

Hey, srfrmom. I'm being banded on the 15th also! I'm 3 days into my doctors prescribed liquid diet. And it's pretty horrible. The hunger headaches are the worst. I feel like I'm constantly in the washroom from all the water I'm drinking. My surgeon makes us do a clear liquid only diet one day before the surgery and thats my last day of work before my banding. I'm super nervous about working that day (I have a physical job) only on clear liquids. I'm not sure how I'm going to pull thru! I refuse to cheat, or blow it. This sure is a big test of will power for me.
