I am so ready for tomorrow! Not looking forward to clear liquids all day, but I will be fine. It's so worth the weight loss. As of yesterday I have lost 12 lbs on the pre op diet! So ready to be banded for life! Geez I think I just made up a saying for one of those rubber bracelets people wear hahahaha

I am getting banded tomorrow too! So excited! Keep in touch and we can see how we r doing!

Thanks!

Difa, did she tell you to say that or hack your account?? Lol just kidding thought that was funny. Hopefully her husband will come around especially if he sees that's what she really wants!

I think I would make an appointment with him to discuss this. I would probably throw a huge fit and tell him how much time he wasted and issues he cause by not performing the surgery the day it was scheduled. I could not imagine that happening! Stay strong, it will happen before you know it and I would call that Doctors office everyday until he gave you a new surgery date even if he said he was booked for a while I would say oh well, I was booked and you screwed it up., so I need you to work me in asap. It's your money and you should have the choice.

Why did your surgery get cancelled?

Hang in there Jackie it gets better!

I'm doin a lot better this week! I hope this weeks moves right along lol! Ready for Monday!

Okay, so I know this is a stupid question but I can not find sugar free Popsicles anywhere! However, there are tons of no sugar added! Same or different?! Help!

Great Ty! I was pretty sure they were different but on another post I saw it confused me!! Thanks for your help!

I'm starting my second week of pre op dieting and have one week til surgery! I hope this week is better than last and flies on by! Anyone else antsy?

Yes I had been trying to do a low cal no bread diet before and it probably would have been way worse if I hadn't? Good luck on your surgery Wednesday! Keep me posted!

Hi all! I was a very heavy smoker for 14 years! I never listened to anyone about the risks and all that blah blah blah and people who haven't ever smoked don't understand! However with that bein said you have to want to stop smokin! I tried everything under the sun to quit and nothing, finally I decided to quit on a Monday not a weekend and use the nicotine lozenges! They worked miracles, I have been a non smoker for two and a half years now and honestly thinking about it now, one of the main reasons I decided to have the lap band is getting healthier, but if u still smoke it's just canceling back out again! I promise that quitting smoking is a hell of a lot easier than retraining your body to quit eating the wrong foods and eatin too much! Besides no one wants to see their kids grow up and pick up the same nasty smokin habits so better yourself 100%!

Yes it has been a struggle for me and yes withdrawals of course! I'm sure I have lost weight , but I won't know how much til the day of surgery because I don't have a scale! No problem with the questions you can feel free to ask me anything! The worst thing for me though was the headaches I had for the first few days! They were horrible! Not as bad as a migraine but it was a make you wanna just squeeze your head to get it to stop hurting! More than likely from the lack of sugar I am used too! But you can do it! Believe me if I can u can!

Good luck Daisy! Talk to you soon!

Omg! I do feel that right now lol that is too funny! Day 5 bring it on!

Oh most definitely! It really makes you realize how much we never noticed all of the food commercials until now. I remember ordering a medium drink not too long ago and it was huge, which is exactly what a lot of the obesity problem today is. Too much food and portions! So ready for my surgery! Glad I have so many people on here to understand what I am going through.

Thanks Surru! Well honestly it hasn't been anything emaculate...lol That's nice of your husband, mine is very supportive also and is planning to take off 2 days to take care of me, so I feel better knowing he will be there.

So far so good! It was so funny last night because I was scanning through channels and noticed one of my favorite shows was on, so I hit the button not thinking! Man v. Food!!!!!! Really?? I can't believe I did that to myself, however it didn't stay there but 10 seconds...ha!!

I am more anxious than nervous. I may get a little nervous the weekend before the surgery, but God will see me through just fine I'm sure! I am really focused on trying to get through the pre op diet, but I am doing pretty good, just having headaches, which could be from various things...lol
