is anyone wos notbanded geting as excitied as me??!!!?!? im about to jump up and down im so excited

im so close! i am totally so excited!!

So im on a 2 week liquid diet (very restricted). my main objective is to get my mind OFF food. so all i can think of is what the first real meal in gonna have is gonna be. thinking of meals doesnt really get my mind off food. ive found that when they say food becomes very unimportant, they are so right. so what are all these skinny people doing to NOT worry about food all the time? also what are the doing while they eat? how can they make meals so slow!? theres only so much to talk about! and just a side question, i know im going on a liquid diet to shrink my liver, but the food i can have is SO repulsive, im barely eating anything... that wont make it enlarge again for some unknown reason will it?

mine is not wanting to start college with never having a boyfriend, and being known as 'the fat kid'. and my own self esteem and theres that whole being healthy thing...

last pre op done! just waiting for wednesday! i had to do a HORRIBLE barium swallow today, anyone else have to do taht? it is DISCUTSING!

oh my, i just had my last pre op meeting! i cant believe this is happening! i am soooooo excited!!!!!!!

I have my last pre op meeting tomorrow! so exciting!

kinda, the nearest one to me is like 2 hours away. they are few adn far apart

i totally agree with everything you just said (even teh torrid thing, wore something from there today)

i dont know! ive been active playing both soccer and softball my whole life. and ive been competitivly swimming since i could walk, i mean practice is up to 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, swimming upwards of 10 miles a day on top of running between 2-5 miles daily. i mean that leaves the food, i guess ive alway ate until i was full. i dont know...

I am so excited. I cant wait to see my real face, i mean i know that sounds weird, but look how different people look who dont have the extra fat compared to when the did. thats why people always get me confused with another girl at my school... even thought we look nothing a like. I cant wait to see my real face

will you do facebook? ive got myspace done lol the URL is as follows: groups.myspace.com/crazyates

Aug 8th here! soooooo excited! 2 weeks on nothing but sugar free Jello, popsickles, and yogurt. and cottage cheese. im 16 with a very unsupporting father... good thing he doesnt live with me!

hi everyone. Im from the Battle Creek area, but im being banded in chicago at the New Hope Center, so im more on the ill. message board<br /> i know some of you on here, im just not sure who and yes, i am 16 and i am being banded on Aug 8th ps, it took me 6 months, but i had to go though a special program

i started in feb. and will be banded beginning of aug so aboiut 6 months. i also did it in chicago

2 weeks liquid its to shrink your liver so the surgen can work around it easily

purplegirl- AUG 8TH!

I cant wait! i just got my date last week, Aug 8th!!! I am sooooo excited!

thank you guys a bunch, i am feeling a little better about it now. my surgens wife gave me a book on the lap band and everything that goes with it ect. and im excited to get it started!

ok, im 16, and im either getting the band later this month or July. If i do it in July, its free but i just want to start losing! i cant stand being like this much longer! lolnut in all seriousness, i am nervous that i wont lose any weight. im scared to death that ill go through all of this and never be a healthy weight. sometimes i just want to cry, because im just so stressed, i feel as though this is a last resort. ive always been like this and its so embarrising. ive had to go through school like this, i mean i know somepeople who have gained weight after highschool and after theyre skinny again say they can finally fit into their highschool jeans or something. and ive never had that, i am so scared that im just going to do this and have nothing happen... if anyone could help me out, please do :think

haha i totally agree with you

i dont know, but one of my friends keeps telling everyone about it. and theres people that really dont need to know, and its really starting to make me angry, and ive asked her not to tell everyone and their brothers, but she just wont stop

ok ive gatta question... how do you get rid of all the extra skin? just get it removed? if so, can we donate the skin cuz its not like we'll ever need it again!

thanks :-) if any of you get the bariatric monthly or something along those line, im helping my nurse write an article for it
