My husband got a christmas bonus yesterday and he let me go out and get a wii fit plus. I have been playing it all day. It is so fun. It also says I lost a pound since yesterday. Yeah!

My Doc appt weds was kinda weird. I thought I was meeting the surgeon again. The nurse lead me into the room and there was another patient in there with about 5 empty chairs. It ended up being a group meeting where they explained about the liver, insurance lots of info. Then the doc came in looked at all our weight. Thankfully I lost because the one lady who didn't lose he gently confronted her about it in front of everyone. She apparently wasn't following the diet he gave us all. I knew she was in trouble because we were waiting for the surgeon to come in and she told me she didn't start the diet yet. The surgeon said if our weight goes up he will cancel the surgery. He doesn't want us to have a fatty liver in the way of where he is trying to work. He gave us quite a peptalk and that was it. I didn't get to speak with him personally.

My MIL hasn't said anything about the surgery and seems to be acting normal again. Hopefully she has gotten over it. My preop with my Anesthetist is monday and preop with the surgeon on wed. Things are moving along here.

Last night I had a dream about getting my lapband. It was so far up my throat I could feel it. Kinda weird.

I bought that yesterday. From HSN of all places, I had never bought anything from them before. I should get it on Monday or Tuesday. My son plays on his friends so I'm hoping he can help me understand and set it up.

I got my band Nov. 10 and doing just fine. I took the large band which I didn't think I would. Had my first fill on Dec. 10th. Didn't really feel all that different. I was to go on the 23rd, but I'm going to wait till after the christmas holidays. I'm still losing about 2-3 lbs a week which is great for me. I'm down 28lbs.

Did the 2-week pre diet and lost most of that. Stick to it as much as you can. I can't lie and tell you that I didn't cheat, because I did twice. My doctor said when he went in my liver looked fine. I really stuck to it the last 5 days.

I'm really shocked that he brought you all in as a group. HIPPA laws are pretty strick about people knowing others business. My dr. was wonderful, very understanding.

Were are you from? I live in South Louisiana.

I only come on line a couple times a week, so if you don't hear from me, I'll catch up.
