I am just wondering if anyone else has a bucket list & things they want to do once they hit goal? I have been overweight my entire life & have a bucket list of things I want to do once I hit goal that I couldn't before due to weight. What is some things you all planned for when you loose weight or during your loosing phase with lap band?

Hey everyone!✋ I started the pre op diet which consisted of 4 slim fast shakes a day & jello. I am having a very hard time with it & failed a couple of times. I really don't think I do it out of hunger, just habit. Tomorrow I start my real pre op diet & have to be on it for 4 weeks, according to my BMI. How do other people get over this challenging part in the process? Thank you all for suggestins???œ

Those are all great items to have on the list! It's the simple things that mean the most! Good luck to you all in your band journeys!!! <3

Those are some great accomplishments! Congrats! I can't wait to be in onderland!

You're welcome & I definitely will!

Hey:) Welcome to band land! I go tomorrow to get my surgery date. It has been an extremely fast process. I started in May & it flew by! I'm excited for you & your soon to be new life. I haven't gotten the band yet (pre op diet) right now, but I've been eating like I have the band & lost about 40 pounds so far. It's great to make changes to your new life before the band so it doesn't shock the system! The 6 months will fly by! Good luck on your journey!

Thanks for the suggestion... I'm going crazy with just sf Jello!

Thank you all for the tips and words of encouragement... I have done everything suggested today so far and have been doing great. It's a very hard process, but will be well worth it. I was talking to a friend at the gym last night & she put it plain and simple you control food it doesn't control you. So I am "womaning" up & getting over this hump to achieve a healthy new me. I still have the horrible headaches. But I guess just like any addiction, and I did have a food addiction you go through withdrawals symptoms. Another user had posted that slim fast were high in sugar. I am aware of this but it was the doctors strict orders 3 to 4 slim fast a day so I am going by it. I go for another intake appointment tomorrow , so hopefully ill have my October surgery date! Fingers crossed!
