that is awesome

Mine realy was no big deal..I fretted over it prior but it was fine... she just asked about my weight pretty much my whole life. When did I first notice I was heavy how heavy was I at this time ..what have I tried.. What works.. what doesn't... and why etc.. they are mainly looking to make sure u don't have any unrealistic expectations like dropping 100 lbs in first month or being able to eat crap all day and still loose weight bc u have a magic band... :-)

See if your surgeons office has a list of psychs that are used to doing WLS referals.. ones that do referals on a regular basis know exactly what to write, most have a form letter already written up. I got a list from my Dr.. didnt like it bc none where close to my house/ work... like an hour drive or more ... so I pulled up a list from my ins co online well that just sucked bc the first lady I called.. Thank goodness she was honest over the phone but told me I was fat ( anyone that was heavy that is) bc I had no will power and surgery would not fix that and that is what she would write in the letter if I came to her.. Like I said thank goodness she informed me her views before I took time off work paid a co pay and drove over there for that crap...So needless to say I went back to my Drs prefered list drove an hour 15 min ONE WAY but she was used to seeing WLS patients knew exactly what to do and once I was done I was done... And just so you know like CG says I have want power I am 5 wks post op and down a total 35 pre and post ...

Down to 237.2

I use cocktail spoons and forks... I can sit down and start my meal and ...be like crap not right silver ware and get up and switch it out

You can do it girl! Today is a new day

Congrats on upcoming surgury... One thing that truely helped me is I got Jean McMillans Cook Book... Bandwagon Cookery... she has a TON of great receipes in it and a lot she has listed at the bottom of the recipe how to "adapt" to both the liquid phase and the puree phase of the diet. I ordered mine on Amazon but if you click on her profile on this site I think her blog is listed and you can order from there too Enjoy the new journey !!!
