I am so ready for this. Then I went to a psychic yesterday and he said that I would hate it and want to have it removed. And, that I really didn't need it because if I could really see who I was and honor myself, I would eat healthier and the weight would fall off because I would eat food that honored me. I get what he was saying but...

After little sleep and much soul searching, I am still going get the lapband. That's why my log in is "18 months to know." Someone gave me some really good advice: She said, you have about a year and a half to figure out why you eat the way you do, if not, you may very well put the weight back on. So, I figure that I can truly find out who I am AND lose the weight at the same time. Maybe I will hate it and maybe I will have it removed, but I need to take this journey this way right now.

God promises us not to give us any more than we can handle. I believe lapband is God's way of saying, your weight loss IS more than you can handle, so here's some help.

Pray for me, I will pray for all of you. I trust I am in God's hands and His will be done.

Any thoughts?

Weeeellll...my first thought is if you are listening to God why go to a psychic?

(My personal belief is that if a psychic really knew what the future holds they would be playing the stockmarket, not nickle and diming it from the side of the road :) )

I agree that you should easily know within 18 months, probably less and the good thing is that if you DO end up hating it it CAN be removed.

curiosity got the better of me. Mother went, I went too.

Actually from the God perspective, he'll always take precedence over anyone or anything else.

thanks for your honest response.

best of luck and continued success. :)

      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.
