Good luck to you! I did the same thing for 6 years and came to the realization that I was losing the battle at my body's expense. I am glad you have made the decision. Soon you will have a whole new life to look forward to. Take care.

:thumbup:Hang in there. I waited for over a year also. You will be all that more excited when it does happen. It also sounds like mentally you will be prepared for it, as well.

Hello All, I started my Lap Band journey on Monday of this week. (July 13,2009). I am so excited about how my life will improve. I am starting to feel better and better each day that passes. I am on day 4 of the liquid diet and not really bothered by it too much. I am sure by the end of the week I will be wanting something with texture. I have been sticking to water, chicken broth, apple juice and boost. Any other options for liquid diet? I am excited about being a bandster! MPartain Tallahassee, Fl.

Congrats to u! I had my surgery on July 13th, and am on day 4 of liquid diet. I have not desired to eat real food until dinner time when my church home group family brings in food for my family every evening. UGH! Anyway, I am excited about the new, healthy life and opportunities my weight loss will bring me. Keep up the good work.
