4 years and going strong!

Note to self~~~ We did it. As I read back throught my own posts I wish I would have talked to myself a little more. It would be nice to go over what worked well and what didnt. As I approach my 4 year bandiversary I am VERY proud to say that I have kept my weight off! The money that I so desperately worried sick over was the best investment I have ever made. I am glad that I didnt let DH discourage me. I no longer even have to hear about it - lol. Over the course of the last several years I hav

This was such an inspiration I posted it so i would not forget

His medical residents just go over that you can't eat or drink after midnight, how soon to be at the surgicenter, what to wear, he gives you perscriptions to get filled today so that you have them tomorrow when you are all done. That's about it. He asks you if you have any last questions and is again

Good info for mushie stage: WHAT ARE YOU EATING

Still looking for others at this stage...WHAT ARE YOU EATING? I'm definitely in a rut, but I just wanna get thru this next two weeks without breaking any bandster rules. I'm supposed to be eating mushie baby-food type things, with the exception of fish, eggs and well-cooked vegetables. I will just give you a list of things I've been eating:   1) Cottage cheese - every day - sometimes 2x a day. I puree 4 strawberries or canned pears, 1/2 c cot. cheese, 3 pkts of splenda...mix together. YUM  

Today is Pre-op

Today I am leaving work at 2:00 to go to my pre-op appointment at 4:00. I am excited and not real sure what to expect. I am not feeling very good today, :sick probably the change in weather, but I dont want to tell my doc for fear that he will want to reschedule. My surgery is tomorrow. I hope that gives the doc enough time to read all my tests before surgery? I had to reschedule my pre-op because we had a blizzard last Friday. So far on my low carb diet (it has been 8 days) I have not cheated o

Info as a reminder to myself... and websites.

Yippee! Good News...

My surgery is seven days and a wake up call away! I can’t stand it, this seems like being pregnant and waiting for that baby to come… the minutes pass so slowly. Anyway, I got the money which is GREAT news. I will pay on Friday at my pre-op appointment and then it will be even more real. I started my pre-op diet yesterday which is low carb high protein. Lucky me I didn’t have to do the dreadful liquid diet before hand. Yesterday I ate, Atkins Shake, four deviled eggs, chef salad dipped my fork i

No news is NOT good news

Today I am feeling blue! I have applied for financing and am not getting a response! I am almost 99% sure my insurance will not cover surgery b/c I do not have a high enough BMI and no risk factors. I am getting discouraged and the longer I wait the guiltier I feel about all the “other” things I can spend the money (if I ever get it) on. My husband is supportive one minute and then tells me all the reasons I need to be more patient and wait until we can really afford it the next minute. Has anyo
