I still hadnt heard from the pre-op nurse so I contacted her and she has 18 people in front of me to schedule their surgery and she is already into August. My life has been 'on hold' since Jan. 2010. I mostly stay at home, besides work, because I'm too embarrased to go out and do things. I live in a small town and I know how I react when I see an old classmate and she/he has gained weight!! I'm like, 'man she sure has let herself go'. And then I think, thats what people are saying about me too!! And its true. I know I shouldn't care about what others think of me but I do and cant help it. I am not a happy fat person. I stay tired and hot and my clothes look terrible. I used to be so full of energy and I've got a huge walk in closet full of cute clothes just waiting to be worn. :smile: I'm ready to get this show on the road!!!!:tongue2:

    You know with your desire and determination right now you could easily start now with either an adkins based or a weight watchers based diet now. It would help your surgery go even smoother. To me all I eat now is basically the adkins diet plan but on a much smaller scale (portion wise). I know others on this site follow weight watchers. Your goal is to get a minimum of 60 grams of protein per day and 64 ounces of fluids per day. No sodas/pop, no sugar, no caffiene and start walking (or some sort of excerise program). If you can implement any and all of these between now and your surgery date you will be so far ahead of the program. You will have great success once you are banded!! I hope this didn't come off in a negative way..I only wish you the best!
