I think I am getting all my testing done with the group that will be having surgery on the 26th so I will be there at 1pm. I just live so close that I am getting my stuff done a week before so I will not have to come the day before surgery which would be Easter Sunday so I will just show up on the morning of the 5th.

So yeah we will get to meet and see how Anna is doing together.

Yes! I am so excited. Now if I could judy stop second guessing my decision. Have you done this? I keep on thinking if I just try once more before surgery. LOL Like it has ever worked before. I am sure that everything is going to be fine and we are going to love our new life.

I did a few weeks ago, I lost eight pounds in a week and went, wait! I don't need surgery I've got this, but a little further out I've realized, yeah, I can do this but I need the tool of the sleeve to have LONG term success. We've tried it all and there is no shame in needing help, the shame would be to let more and more time lapse letting our hearts become more unhealthy, our joints hurt more, etc etc. We can do this and it will be worth it!!!!

April 5th really will be here in not time! It is all so very exciting. Before when I was reading posts it seemed like something "they" did but I never imagined finally being in the position to be changing my own life!!! Plus you got that great head start with the band...well we say great and band in the same sentence, but you know what I mean!

I do know what you mean. The lap band for the first year was great. I have lost over 80lbs and that has been great for me. I am a lot healthier then before and love the gym. I am just ready to be normal. No more PBing no more pain no more fill unfill fill unfill. I am just excited to get it over and done with and move on. Cant wait to meet ya.

3 more days and I just can't wait! I got on my friend's scale last night I believe I'm down another 6 lbs. I'll find out officially tomorrow when I go see Dr Stephens one more time before surgery on Thursday. I'm so ready for this life changing experience. I wonder what I'll look like as a skinny person??

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
