Went to my first nutritionist thing today. not very happy nor positive now. She told me that the doctor wants ppl to be at a bmi of 50 before he does the operation. I would have to lose 100lbs to get to that. I feel that if i can lose 100lbs in 6 months then why the heck do i need the surgery???? Not happy very depressed. Not sure what to do. Starve myself?? Drink 2 protein shakes then have a small dinner??? So now im down. Was very happy to go to my fist appointment but that was short lived. Thinking about looking for a different doctor. Not sure what to do . JUst depressed and crying like a baby . I just want this so bad but hell 100lbs.. might as well not get the freaking surgery dang!!!!!

i made your stuffed veggie shells. Loved it. mind u i dont like veggies but made like that i couldnt really taste them. at least not a bold taste. really liked it and so did my friends and daughter. thanks

the dr office just called and they are wanting me to see the doctor in sept instead of 3 months from now. They were sorry for upsetting me . Told them not Jan's fault ( nutritionist ) just that if i needed to lose b4 the surgery then why get it. But when i said about dr wanting my bmi at 50 she said no 55 so that was little better. I only have to lose 65 compared to 90 . I can handle that alot better. Going to see the dr on sept 29th. We are gonna see what exactly he wants me to do. I do hope i leave there in a better mood then today. Thanks you 2 for your support. I do believe in God and i am trying to leave it in His hands.

Im very happy for you. Im just starting seeing a nutritionist. See them tomorrow for the first time. Keep us all posted . Amen on giving all the glory to God. I will keep you in my prayers.

Went to the seminar on the 18th. I have my first appointment to see the nutritionist on the 27th. So i started on Thursday eating different. Discipline my self now. This way when i get the surgery it does not shock my body nor brain. So i have cut my portions, counting those calories, forcing myself to eat veggies and yogurt. Veggies n yogurt i dont like but ive been looking up recipes. Found some good ones on how to cook veggies where i may like them. Im going to join the Y.M.C.A in sept. I am a local truck driver. Only home on the weekends. The Y at them moment till sept,is only open on saterday. Sept they start oping on sundays too. Also been really reading up on the lap-band®®®. Doing my homework. Seems a long ways away for the surgery. Im not very patient but i have to be. I have no choice. The main person that is helping me with eating right is God. With out Him i could not do this. I have no well power but the good Lord is right here with me helping me with my cravings. Praise you Lord and Thank You

WTG!!! I hope when i get mine it goes as well as yours has been. good luck on your fill.

I go to a seminar on Aug 18th and they already set me up for my first balance eating plan on Aug 27th. I have to go through that for 6months before i can have the surgery. This is the requirement of my insurance. I am so excited. Finally got it started. Didn't know where to even start. But im on track now. Wish me luck.

ty both im just little worried about the insurance approving it now. read some stuff where it took ppl a very long time to get cigna to aprove them. some even went n paid for their own. what worries me is i have no health issues other then asthma . my bmi is 64 so im hoping that well do it. i do have lower back pain when i stand to long or walk to much.. just play it by ear n see i guess. will just have to keep appealing it if they deny me.

love ur post. exactly the way i feel when i go places or walk anywhere...... in a few months that will change for me too.....
