December 29th!!!!! Can't wait!

My date is the 29th so i definitely feel your pain lol. I haven't tried the sugar free pops, but I may. I just drink a lot of water when I get hungry. But I did feel feel better when I stepped on the scale yesterday and had lost 3lbs in about 3 days! Now to get through the Christmas food, next Thursday can't get here soon enough!!!!!

LBC, congrats to you. I too am scared and excited. I've never done so much crying and laughing at the same time in my life lol. Fitbandit, I started the process 11/14, insurance submitted 12/12, approval 12/14, surgery date 12/29! It's been a whirlwind, but well worth it! Good luck to all!!!!

Well I had a bad headache last night but I got through it. This is going to be interesting as I have to be on the diet for Chistmas parties, a baby shower and Christmas day, but so far I've survived 2 parties w/out cheating. As my mom said "no pain, no loss" lol.

Congratulations! I got my approval yesterday, surgery scheduled for the 29th. On day 2 of liquid diet!

I can relate to you as well. We are actually the same age, I am single with no kids as well and work in a cancer center. The only thing i'm missing are the two dogs. I am a newbie as well. I just finished the last insurance pre-op requirement (the Psychiatrist eval), and now get to "patiently" wait to hear a yes or no, but good luck to you.

Just wanted to introduce myself. I decided last month that I was ready to change my life. I've tried many diets, some worked, some didn't, but I realize that I may need a little help and i'm hoping to get that from the Lap Band. I have already met with the surgeon, had my pre-op labs, met the dietitian, and this week I will meet with the Psychiatrist. I'm am a cross between really excited and nervous, but I'm believing that this will be the begining of me getting back to myself, a new healthier me .
