I am excited that you get banded tomorrow....oh yeah. I look forward to hearing good news. I get banded thursday so here we go.

Thanks all, I am very grateful for the encouragment and you guys are who I look up too because you are still standing. To Arnetta just wanted to encourage you today not to give up and I know you have not. I want to share this journey with you. Everything will work out. I am only 4 days away from the surgery so I am starting to get a little more excited. I will keep you posted.

Day 9 and counting.....During this preop diet I have realized how much I have relied on food. All week long my boyfriend and I have been going out and he gets to eat anything he wants oh and me I get to look at him enjoy the food. I am learning how to regulate my emotions because I can't eat what he eats. For instance his birthday was on thursday and he wants to go out to eat at lunch and dinner. My mouth starts watering when I look at him eat..ugh. Then today we just came from a wedding rehearsal and they had one of my favorite foods (chinese food). I was asked atleast 4 times would I like something to eat. Don't get me wrong it was very tempting but I did not give in. I know I have to learn now how not to rely on food but understand it will always be around as long as I live and its okay to WALK AWAY! I just wanted to express myself tonight. I hope everyone continuing to drop weight and becoming better people inside and out. Let me know how you are doing.

Please don't give up. If this is what you are suppose to have then God will make a way. Maybe you can call someone like close friends or family. I don't know your financial situation but I know it is rough. Think about it if you splurge then you could ruin something and what if you get a call and they say it is all worked out. Splurging is not an option!!!! I know it is hard and we are here for you. I saying a prayer for you right now.

Welcome to LBT. I am also a newbie and I find this site very helpful. Feel free to ask questions and share your journey. My name is Danielle and I am on my on my 7th day of the liver shinking diet and my surgery is scheduled for the 29th. Enjoy the journey!

Yes we can, I just saw your comment before I left one on your page..lol

I now weigh myself every two days and I might wait longer. I don't really excercise because I am not working with many calories and I don't want to fall out. But everyone is different but I think tomorrow I am going to start walking a little more. Don't stress about the pound, you know we as women hold fluid at time and it will come off. I have not cheated but whew sometimes I want to...lol. We are both on day 7 so lets keep each other encouraged

I read your blog and you will be okay. I am on day 7 of the liver diet and yes it is a challenge but. I know it is all worth it. I get banded on Sept 29th. You have to stay focused because for some reason you will notice more food than you have noticed before and it is tempting and the nights are the worst. But just remember you have a goal to meet and you will do it. Let me know how it goes! :D

Yesterday was a rough day. I felt really really hungry on this liver shrinking diet. Today is day 7 and I weighed myself and I am down 14 pounds. Seeing this really motivated me to keep pushing. I just want to encourage others that are at the same stage as me to keep taking it one day at a time. My surgery date is approaching soon yayyyy! Not only have I motivated myself but I have also motivated my whole family to improve their lives by eating healthy. We have set up a special day each week to talk about our weight loss journey. My family is a great support during this time. So all my fellow soon to be banders and those who are already banded lets continue to support each other. We all Need it. I pray everyone has a blessed day and KEEP FIGHTING!

I like that, thank you for the encouragement and I needed to be reminded of this. So how is your journey going?

We will all make it, but we just have to take it one day at time. Let me know how your process is going...so excited to hear the good reports.
