Cheating with lean turkey meat is NOT cheating!! I stuck my finger in the peanut butter by accident. I don't know how that happened! I was getting the dog food out of the pantry and it was the strangest thing, the lid flew off of the peanut butter and my finger accidentally slipped into the jar. It was a bit messy so I had to lick it off!

Spot, you and I are about the same weight and have the same goal. My surgery is 04/15/11. We will be able to keep each other in check!

I am going to be a success story too! I am so ready for this!! I am on my fourth day of pre-op liquids. I have no energy at all and can hardly form a complete sentence but I can make it. My surgery date is 4/30/11. I want to be a skinny bitch so bad!!

Good luck!!

I am on the same pre-op diet. My tummy is rumbling and my brain is so foggy but I know I am going to make it! Today is day four and if I made it through yesterday, I can make it through today! My surgery is set for 04/15/11. We are on the same track. How much weight do you want to lose? My goal is 100 lbs off. I am sooooo stinkin ready for this!

Well I couldn't get to sleep last night. I was thinking of all of the things I would gain as I lose this extra baggage. Feel sexy for my hubby Take shower with hubby Paint my toes and breathe at the same time Walk up the stairs and not feel like I am going to pass out Feel more graceful Feel more feminine Go to an office party with my hubby and not feel like the fattest person in the room Go to the movies and not feel like I am squeezed into the seat Fly without feeling like I am taking up more then my share of space Wear a skirt without feeling that disgusting slimy/sticky feeling of my thighs rubbing Not wear out the crotch of my pants from my thighs rubbing Be the "Hot Mom" Not duck when a camera points in my direction Jump from rock to rock as we play at the river Sit in an inner tube at the river and not feel like they have to rub butter on it to get me out Be able to shop anywhere and not just Lame Giant Not have to lick my finger to get my rings on/off Wear a necklace without that stupid extender that always gets turned to the front Walk down stairs without my knees groaning Go out with my hubby because I want to not because I have to Wear cloths because they are cute not because they cover up my belly/butt Wear a swimsuit without a skirt attached Clothing will take up less space in a suitcase Shopping will be fun and not a chore I was actually seeing the light at the end of this long tunnel I have been in. I am on day four of the pre-op diet. It has not been that hard considering the only thing that is keeping me from cheating is my willpower and my willpower is not that strong! I wouldn't have gotten this large if I had a good willpower. I guess I am just ready. I am ready to shed this skin that has been holding me back for so long! I just wish I could be one of those people that don't like junk food. I will always have to watch what I eat from now on and that pisses me off a bit. I love junk food and I love to eat. I will just always have to remind myself that the above list will taste so much better then a cheese burger! Have a blessed day!!

"They should give us pre-surgery shock collars to help us train better, lol. " HA HA! My dog has a shock collar. I should put it on and give the remote to my husband! HA HA!!

Hello all! I am a 42 year old mother of three. I live in San Antonio TX. I just found out yesterday that I am being banded on April 15th! I am so excited!!! I just started my pre op diet today. I have no energy at all. I feel like curling up on the couch and falling a sleep. My hubby's is so thoughtful. (not). He envited some friends out to dinner tonight. I get to go sit and watch everyone eat. Yayy. I think I will die! Lol. Tomorrow is my company's annual family picnic. I would skip it except I am the one that is in charge of the whole darn thing. I will keep my fingers out of the dip I promise! I am trying to look at this experience as a positive one and not complain to those around me. They didn't make me fat. I did. I am so glad to have the opportunity to be banded that I think it will make all of the uncomfort of today worth every second! It has been interesting to read what the different diets that the doctors put people on. I am on 4 to 5 Protein shakes per day. I hope to make so e friends here who are going through the same thing. Have a blessed evening!!

Tell him how great your sex life will be once you are feeling more confident in the way you look. It worked for my hubby! LOL
