I'm so nervous I have 38 hours to go till surgery wow there is so many things going through my head I cant stop thinking about it! tonight is my last real dinner for what seems like forever, but i know i need to be sensible and look towards my goal I lost 5 pounds this week doing 2 protien shakes and a sensible dinner....I just know this will change my whole life but I have a long hard road ahead of me.....cant wait to see 100lb go bye-bye forever.....you never know maybe more.

Brandie, good luck. I understand. I have 10 days to go and I am not sleeping and eating more than I should. My feelings are all over the map. But I look forward to getting rid of my diabetes and maybe sleep apnea. I look forward to being healthy. Monday I start South Beach Phase1 to shrink my liver and then the surgery is October 13th.

Good luck. I was honestly so happy to be getting the band I never spent an instant being sad or blue or saying "goodbye" to food...especially since my surgeon said once I've healed and adjusted I'll be able, most likely, to eat anything. I'll just be happy with less. Not everyone likes or wants SUPER tight restriction, and not everyone has issues with every food. So to my way of thinking, I'll be more free than I've ever been, not less so.

Hope you recover quick and feel marvelous!

good luck. best advise i can give is to try to just relax. it really isn't a big deal. remember also, you may kind of freak out a few hours before surgery and question your decision. this is normal. don't 2nd guess this late in the game. you made this decision for a good reason so just let the day go by and before you know it you are done.
