Tomorrow is my Band Day!

Thread Starter  

I'm really excited! a little nervous about the surgery, but have faith in my Dr., I have to be at the hospital at 5:45 am, so no time to get anxious in the morning. I'm just ready to get it done!
My only problem right now is that I'm so hungry. I've only been on liquids for 5 days, and i'm weak and light-headed, probably taking in about 450-500 calories a day and really crabby. If I can just make it through the next 8 hours, I can go to bed, then it'll be time to go!
I ate a handfull of goldfish (crackers) today in a moment of weakness, I hope it doesn't come back to haunt me.
BTW, I forgot my PIN for my ticker, any advise? I'm down a total of 8 lbs.

Good luck tomorrow on your surgery. Be sure to get some Gas X strips and start taking them now. You will have gas tomorrow. So be sure to take them. This will help you out! I wish someone had told me. I know you're hungry but just think how great your going to be in your skinny jeans! That's what I had to focus on. Having the handful of goldfish isn't going to haunt you .... but don't eat anymore. It's almost here! You can do it! Keep me updated on your journey!

Good luck tomorrow!! Make sure you have throat lozenges, I used Halls Breezers & they were wonderful for the sore throat from the tube. They also helped the dry mouth issue too. My throat hurt really bad the first 2 days. Also ask your Dr & anesthesiologist to get out as much of the gas as possible, I had zero gas pains because they went overboard making sure to get it all out. My doc said they wouldnt go the extra mile if they arent asked.

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got.

Tomorrow is my band day also! I'm mostly excited. A little nervous. Ready for it to be over. Instead of goldfish, my cheat today was two bites of my husband's cheeseburger. I just couldn't resist! I've been on a mostly liquid diet since March 18 (22 pounds lost) but I find I can only go about 3 days without a bite of solid food. I guess starting tomorrow I need to do better than that since it's three weeks of liquids without cheating! That's scarier than the surgery! Good luck to all of us! Here's to a safe procedure with no complications and quick healing!
