I am on a 6 month diet for insurance. But a pre-op diet is usually when you are on high Proteins, or liquid diets before surgery to help the stomach adjust and to shrink the liver. From what I know the best way to shrink the liver is to eat low carbs. As for you I would lower your sugar intake, and eat sensibly. Exercise if you can, you don't have to do a lot just move!! And if you have any other questions feel free to ask, and if you aren't sure call your doctor.

Wow seattle that post was very informative!! Thank you so much dear.

My addictions right now are: Exercising, if I don't walk at least 1 to 2 miles a day I feel like a failure. LOL. LBT, I am on it all of the time, constantly And keeping my calories over 1200 but less than 1600. If I go over or am under 1 calorie I freak out. Oh, waiting for this 6 month diet to be over is an obsession too, I want my band!

WOW!!! That's an amazing amount of weight loss. Congratulations. I am glad you are doing so well. Can't wait to hear more from you!!! Thanks for posting.

If you put your mind to it you could lose 20 lbs in two weeks, especially on liquids! Thanks for joining my forum, and I wish you so much luck with your surgery in 2 weeks. The head hunger will pass and soon you'll be banded and turning heads with how much weight you have lost!! Good luck!

I hope you all find out what is wrong and that she has a speedy recovery.

I would have been pissed that she was weighing me. LOL I would have asked for someone else. I am stubborn though. Glad things went so well though.

Hello, welcome to LBT. I wish you luck with your appt on monday. Most people take a week off work, some more, some less. Depends on how you feel. For the surgery, I'm pretty sure they will make new incisions, endoscopically. They will be able to tell you for sure once you meet with your surgeon. As for skin I think since you are so young and only 98lbs overweight, that you should be able to tighten it once you lose. I hope I was of some help. And again welcome to LBT hope to hear from you again.

Insurance is so frustrating. They make you jump and jump and jump through hoops then kick you when you're down. Everyone with insurance probs I wish you luck. mstrina27 How are you feeling? :laugh:

I just thought I'd leave a post saying that I just choked on my water. Thought you all might be interested. LOL. Byebye.

I have no idea. I just hit the quote button. :laugh:

Stay on the liquids. Call the office June 2nd to see what they say. You have already lost the amount they wanted but the liquid is still important. Having food in your stomach the day of surgery can make you sick. that wouldnt be good. Call on monday find out so you know for sure.

I haven't been banded yet but I've had several surgeries laproscopic like lapband is . I had minor probs with the anesthesia, nothing major most people don't have problems and the scars are usually pretty small. Mine still show from older surgeries but not very much. I'm supposed to be banded in November. I wish you great luck and success in your surgery.

It seems even if we are eating way smaller portions, that we have to buy healthier food. And in turn buying healthier foods is more expensive. So even if we're buying less, the food costs more so in turn we're probably spending more in the store than we did when we binged. Plus these dang gas prices. Dag nabbit! lol

Congrats and welcome to LBT. I hope you enjoy your journey into learning and hopefully having surgery.

I wish you lots of luck. I hope what you find out isn't to awful and that things are going to be okay. I love the positive attitude. Good luck.

Yay congrats. :thumbup: I should be finishing up all my crap in Oct and having surgery in Nov.

So my period started today for sure. My last one was around 5 weeks long April 19th to May 22nd. Today it's only May 31st and I am starting again. How lovely.

Welcome to LBT. I can't wait until I get banded in November. Keep in touch with us. :laugh:

So after having my period for from April 22nd to may 19th after not having one 3 months today May 31st well yesterday I started brown discharge and today there is blood in it. So I would say I am getting ready to start another period. I sure hope this one isn't around 5 weeks long like last time. It hasnt even been 2 weeks yet :laugh:

Hi Sil. If your PCP did all of the tests and has record of them and can send them/fax them to your surgeon's office ETC, you shouldn't have to redo them. Depending on how long ago they were. I wish you success in your journey and I hope you keep losing!:laugh:

Congrats to you all. I too hope to have success like you guys. Good work!
