SageTracey got a reaction from Bremartus in Pre Op Diet Not Going Well
The pre-op diet is to shrink your liver to make surgery easier. If you have cheated too badly and not shrunk your liver then the surgeon may cancel the surgery or even get started but not be able to fit your band.
If you have lost some weight you may be ok.

SageTracey got a reaction from mojojojoooo in Considering Lap Band Need Advice
It's great that you are taking this decision so seriously. My tipping point was when my husband said he didn't want me to die or end up in a wheelchair because of my weight. He has been my greatest support on this journey and very much a part of my success. I have lost 60kg (about 135lb) in 12 months.

SageTracey reacted to Allison0927 in Hello Coffee Addict!
I drink coffee every day - several cups - black but flavored (i.e., hazlenut, vanilla etc.) - it's just black cofee with a hint of flavor but no cream or sugar etc. so little to no calories. I've lost over 100 pounds in less than 8 months - so it hasn't harmed me on my journey! I have given up diet coke (and all pop/carbonated beverages/beer) - that about killed me but WELL WORTH THE SACRIFICE!!!!!

So true.
my favorite is "You can have excuses or you can have results but you can't have both."

SageTracey got a reaction from chrissylu in Humiliated At Work Today! Omg!!!!!
How does your husband not know! Wow, I couldn't keep something like this from my hubby.
And I would be furious if what happened to you at work happened to me. But try not to overreact - easy to say from a distance, I know - but you still need to front up to work each day. I didn't tell anyone at my work until I had made some really good progress and was happy to talk about.

Hang tough. This is where you get to show the commitment that you promised yourself. It will be worth it in the end.
