Good luck, Heather. You sound like you're in a great place for surgery and for taking the first step toward a new life. I'm sure you'll do great!

Good luck Heather, I know it must be hard with two children you have to cook for also. My daughter is a single mom with teen boys, makes it really hard for her because she didn't stick to a healthy diet while they were growing up and now they refuse to eat the "good" meals she tries to prepare. You have done really good with the 6 month pre-op diet. I actually gained 1 lb. during that time. The liquid two week diet before surgery is really hard too, but you seem to be doing really good with that. I think this shows that you will do good after the lap band. Remember it is not the band that loses the weight, it is the healthy eating and sticking to it. I know two poeple who had the band and didn't work at it. They would eat anything that would go down. Needless to say they are still struggling with weight issues 2 years later. I think that you will be very successful though. Valentines Day . . . what a great day to start a new chapter in your life.

good luck for tuesday you will be fine and ready to start a fantastic part of your life

Good Luck Heather....I bet your girls are very proud of you .

Good luck Heather!! I think this is the sweetest gift you can give yourself!
