I am waiting for my insurance to give me the go-ahead...so i'm in the waiting game.... today was a horrible day....a stressful day....just one of those days! so what did I do?? I ate a bowl of ice cream....oh geesh! I am a stress eate through and through....i was hoping to lose five lbs beween now and my pre-op from eating right...how do I control the stress eating/snacking after I get the band?....think i'll hop on the bike and watch the biggest loser haha

thanks leigha...i needed a little encouragement....i have the empt bowl of ice cream sitting next to me as I ride the bike so I am reminded...haha I love these boards! its like I have hundreds of friens who know EXACTLY how I feel! hope you have a great evening

I see the dr tomorrow after doing all my pre-lim appointments and i should get a surgery date tomorrow too...and i'm starting to get a little scared/nervous. I have tried and failed countless diets...what if i fail at this? i have an amazing support system around me and am going to continue therapy for my addiction to food...but all this is still not calming that little voice inside telling me i cant do it....and more than the fear of failing its the embarassment of failing... I'm probably having one of those days...and i am sure i will be fine after meeting with my doctor tomorrow, but today...i had to share this with my LAP-BAND® friends

hi! i had my psych eval yesterday. and it was kind of intense. he asked me a lot of questions about my childhood and my relationships with my family and my spouse. the whole interview was to figure out what your relationship with food is...(stress eater, boredom eater...food make you feel good?) also in detail about work and your lifestyle. it really wasnt too bad... good luck! and dont be nervous. he started out telling me this was not a ''pass /fail'' interview...more of a guage to help with the journey trish
