WELL i THOUGU WHERE SUPPOSE TO BE ON A LIQUED DIET FOR TWO WEEKS??? HMMM MAY THATS Y UR SICK???

My surgery is set for Oct. 6th so nervous yet so excited !

I am a widowed school marm with two grown kids. However, not currently teaching. I was in Army along time ago and am going through the VA to have this procedure. I laugh at some of y'all because of the testing required by insurance companies to get approved. You should have to have government approval. That's a test. I have passed the requirements so far and finally have my surgery scheduled for October 3. (If the government doesn't shut down, that is.) I decided when I was on a plane last year and very uncomfortable with my seat belt extender that my days of being the fat lady were coming to an end. To add to that discomfort, I was on my way to the Virgin Islands, where my size and the humidity were not very compatible. I am very happy to begin a new life and attempt the adventures I refused to do because of being too self conscience. am now going to do what I want to do and I don't care if I embarass my grown kids. I am a very successful dieter. I have lost tons of weight in my life. I have issues with keeping it off. I have done a lot of work with therapists, etc. and feel I have new tools to use this time. I don't have to worry about sabotaging husband, kids issues, etc. I am going to fully embrace my life, and started when I asked my GP for information about lap band surgery a year ago. I have discarded items I have dragged all over the world which no longer served me. I rented a dumpster this summer and had a pitching party. I have had to say good bye to aquaintences who were toxic in my life. I have moved out of my nest in one bedroom to finally live freely in my entire house. I still have a lot to do to be where I want to be, but thank God, I have not given up and resigned myself to live the depressed, restricted life I was living. I am free, and have realized that all along I held the key to my own jail cell. Fasten your seat belts and don your safety equipment. This old lady is on the launch pad!
