I wish 6m would fly by!

[t2dav 17]

I am about to start on my 3rd month of the supervised diet and I wish it would hurry up I'm so ready to get banded!! Although I will say I'm learning a lot about restriction.

I just did my month 2:(

I was the same way....when I first started, I thought 6 months would be like 6 years! But honestly, they flew by and lo and behold, I was having my surgery.

Take the time to take all necessary steps to get mentally and physically ready. Start making changes in your eating habits, and read up, ask questions, etc.

I stopped drinking Diet Coke during my 1st month, I took a few cooking lessons during the next 2 months, so I could "learn" to cook healthy. I made myself try new foods like: couscous and quinoa. I started drinking almond milk, and the list goes on

Hang in there and enjoy the journey! Six months will be here sooner than you think!

Glad to have you here!

I am now also in my third month! When is te date for your last appointment?

[t2dav 17]

My last appointment is June14! Maybe we all can stay in touch and with each other I'm trying to stay motivated but there are not any great educational classes in the area.

As much as we all want to hurry things up, this 6 months is a great time to really get your head in the game, work on new habits, and get prepared. It will make the world of difference after you are banded. I wish I would have done more work and lifestyle modifications pre-banding as I was in for a big awakening post-banding.

nonetheless, it's all worth while.

I notice that everyone is having their last appointment on their 6m, did you not have to technically go 7m to the nutritionalist?

Ok so my last diet month is in march.... does anyone know how long after I should expect to be scheduled for surgery? Just wondering...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-3S because it is wise and all knowing...

My last appointment is technically an extra appointment. (3 month supervised diet- 4 nutrition appointments)

The steps prior to being banded is very important. During this time you are learning better habits, getting use to exercising, getting control of your cravings, and learning to eat slower. Because if you don't, those old habits can follow you after your band and become a problem to your dreams of becoming lean, thinn, and fit. Your patience will reward you.
