.....Today

Let me start by saying I love this site. So many inspirational, motivating stories, nice people and a place to share/say anything. Well, I haven't had the band yet- I am desperately hoping for Sept. or Oct.- but I am freaking out this weekend. I am working on my goals my nutritionist and I set up for the month of June and I am doing well with the no soda thing.....but the chewing/waiting one minute between bites...not doing so well. I also question myself (I have read other posts of people who have felt this way too.) and my ability to "get it done" this time. I have spent most of my adult life battling my weight, trying, succeeding and then ultimately gaining weight back on every possible diet. Im scared, but so ready for a change. Ugh...Im just really complaining today!! :thumbup: Good luck to everyone and thanks for the forum for support!

Goals/baby steps

Well- I had my first nutritionist appointment on the 4th. I was so excited to just get started with the 3 month supervised diet. She briefly went over what was entailed with the surgery and the pre and post op diet and some of the rules. Then we set some goals for the next month: 1. dont' drink with meals (as right now that is a biggie for me) 2. chew, chew, chew, and wait a minute between each bite. Ok.....so the not drinking with meals is going well (and I know we will change this to not drinking before and for sometime after), but the waiting one minute between bites is pretty hard for me....Oh well, just keep on trying. (I just keep telling myself.....if i don't slow down(once i have the band)its all going to come back up). Learn it now and it will be better/easier later. I have my psych evaluation on the 16th....kind of worried about that, but I have read in other's blogs that it isn't so bad. I truly am happy to have found this site and am happy to be able to connect with others who are going through the pre surgery part and with those who have had the surgery. It is great to have all of the support and validation etc. etc.......ok....thanks for listening today. Good luck to us all!!!!! Keep up the good work one and all. :sad:

on the road to surgery

Well- today i had my first visit with the nurse practitioner and then in two weeks the first visit with the dietician.....this will start the 3 month M.D. supervised diet pre surgery. Ultimately this should mean that sometime in October I can have the surgery. Im so excited and nervous at the same time. However, I have to say that reading everyone's posts/blogs is so helpful and reassuring. Here is to moving forward and wishing everyone the very best!!!

Pre approval phase

Well- i have gone to the seminar, and now am in the process of getting all the medical records and hoping to start the 4 month Dr. supervised diet the insurance company wants me to do. I am truly inspired by all the posts i have read and i look forward to reading more, as well as joining you in the future as one who has had the surgery. God Bless
