My surgery is Monday Jan 9th and I'm on a liquid diet last week and this. Problem is I haven't lost any weight yet. It's entirely my fault, going through the holidays my "sensible meal" was larger than it should be. It wasnt that I was eating sweets, just to big of portions of what I did eat. So now of course I'm freaked out about not being able to have surgery. Does anyone have any recommendations for the time between now and Monday? The two shakes a day are covered, no brainer, but the sensible meals any ideas? Or should I honestly at this point just switch to 3 shakes a day since there is ZERO time between now and Monday. Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

Hi everyone. I have my surgery date for January 9th and am pretty excited. I think I'm starting to stress about financial issues in my life and now am contemplating putting off surgery. My insurance will pay for the majority of it, if not all, but my Dr requires the Bariatric Advantage Protein to be bought through their office and I know I need to buy vitamins yet. I'm stressed about the fiancial burden at this point as every penny is keeping us from eviction or the truck being repoed. I'm sure the holidays are talking to me as well as the kids will have no presents this year and that's really getting to me. So much stress at this time of year is not helping me to calm down. I try to tell myself it could be so much worse so in my goal to keep myself up about surgery, what are your tips and tricks, ideas and insight that could help me through the pre-diet phase in a healthy and CHEAP way? At this point I can't be picky about variety and lots of options, just cheap cheap cheap! Let me know your ideas and I'll keep my strength toward looking forward to a new beginning for me and my family. Lots of love to you all!

Hi everyone. I've been looking at LapBand for years now. I have my first consultation Wednesday with my surgeon and I'm really excited. I have my full medical records and don't think I could prepare any more for this appointment. All records show and document discussions for weight loss with doctors since at least 1998. Even mentions wanting LapBand years ago so hopefully it will all help with the insurance approvals. Just nervous about how long everything will take. I need that edge to my health to push me to lose weight and get more active. I have a BMI of 60.1 with at least 6 co-morbidities. I'm just hoping for surgery soon. Everyone on here seems so supportive and great. Wish me luck.
