March Bandsters!

[AlishaK 5]

My date has been changed . I am now March 7th. My surgeon wants to do another EGD on March 1st instead of the surgery. He said that when they did the last one 2 years ago there was damage to my esophagus and wants to make sure it hasn't gotten worse. Pre op diet starts on the 22nd. At least I have this weekend to get my last food days in.

March 7th for me! I've been through SO much to get approved and I'm still in shock that I'm getting it! I just found out yesterday and I called my best friend screaming.She is also getting lap band in a few months.Only a few days until my pre op diet begins. My mom is 6 months post op and is 60 lbs down! Wow hope I can do the same.

If having a "last meal" makes u a fatty, I'm a super duper fatty! Lol. I had a "last meal" WEEK! I got in all my favs....Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Popeyes chicken, Taco Bell, and many more! The great part is, it's all outta my system. I start my pre-op diet today, which means my surgery is in 2 weeks. Yahooooo

Your awesome! I'm doing the same thing right now. My boyfriends gaining weight like crazy after my last meal week! But hey I'm only going to be a super duper fatty this one last time! might as well go out with a bang!

I am March 27th. I can't wait. It has already been a long journey since I started, and now it is sooo close. It took a while to fight with my insurance and they required me to be on a 3 month program before I could apply. I am super happy it is almost here.

Last Supper?? More like last supperS!!! I have had all of my favorites!! Lasagna is in the over right now and tomorrow my favorite Japanese steak house. Tuesday will hit me like a ton of bricks, but I am so ready. I know it will be tough, but I am ready to pay the price to get my life back!!!

I have one week until I start my pre op diet and am enjoying foods that I know I won't be able to eat for a while ... But the more I eat the more I know that I'm okay with giving them up and finallllly losing this awful weight for good ... New motto is we need to eat to live not live to eat !
