gadgetlady 4 Posted December 26, 2005 Well, Christmas dinner is officially OVER and tomorrow I start my 2-week pre-op liquid diet. I managed to get rid of a lot of leftovers, keeping just enough to feed my kids for a while, but tomorrow I'm going to hit the ground running! My dh and my parents are going to liquid diet in solidarity with me for the next 2 weeks (I have an incredible support network). I've been reading about all of you who've had insurance problems and I just feel so bad for you. I never realized there were so many problems with insurance -- I always assumed I would get approved the first time around, and I did. I have Health Net and am in California. I am so excited I can barely stand it!!!!!! Tomorrow morning I'm going to take some "before and never again" pictures, do an official weigh-in and body fat analysis (at home), and then never look back. My only potential derail will be that my two kids are sick and if I get what they have I'll have to postpone. So those of you that are prayerful, would you please pray that I don't get sick? Merry Christmas to everyone!!! Ho ho ho . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julie83 0 Posted December 26, 2005 Good luck to you! I just had my surgery on 12-22-05. I'm doing great so far, if I could only get rid of the heartburn from the gas they used for the surgery. Best of luck to you!!! -Julie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maggie63 0 Posted December 27, 2005 Good Luck!!! You will do wonderfully : ) Let us know how it goes. I think it is great your parents and dh are going on liquids with you...that is SO cool!!!! I went to sister's for christmas. I was banded 2 Dec and was nervous about all the food that would be served. I walked into her house, and noticed a rubber band around her wrist. What are those? I said. She said those were her lapbands, and we would do it together. It made me feel so good to have that kind of support!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
