Last week was month 3 of my 6 month program. It is passing quicker than I thought but I still wish it was time NOW. Today at 3 I have a phone pre interview with my behavioral health psychiatrist (2 visits with her are required)
It can't come any sooner!!!

I completely disagree with that statement! I am NOT too lazy to cook and I don't eat out all of the time and I use MFP each and every day. What a completely ridiculous statement you just made here. Sounds to me like an excuse to not log your food...
Maybe you might be "too lazy" to bother weighing and measuring ingredients so you have accurate calorie counts on recipes.

You can do it! My surgery is not til mid August early September and I'm already almost 30 days clean of diet drinks. The carbonation is an addiction and it's hard but it's mind over matter which I'm sure this whole process is!

Well I can say this. I have learned to welcome hunger because I went almost 35 years and never knew what hungry was because I ate so much I never felt hungry. The first time my stomach growled I almost had a heart attack lmao

I think 2 liters is about the normal recommended after banding. You might find it difficult to drink (in sips) any more than that and still have room for food (and not drink 30-60 minutes before or after meals). I've always been a big drinker. (wait, that sounded bad... I mean Water. LOL) I had to actually cut back after the band and teach myself to sip and not gulp.

Keep your head up! i had everything done in March or so I thought and then the insurance changed their mind on my weight watchers being acceptable and made me do 6 month dr supervised diet. To say i was pissed and my heart was broken is an understatement. i literally gave up..Decided to not let them beat me and did my 6 months..finished Nov. 29th and my surgery was approved 12/12/12. I go see my surgeon 1/16 and hope to set a date then..long story short..it flies by!..Jumping through the hurdles make the end result that much sweeter

Thanks everyone! I didn't think of it that way.
I'm gonna head back to the gym, start on more Water consumptions and research Protein shakes

I went to my Lapband seminar tonight. I am PUMPED to get the process started )) I should be getting a call from the office within 2-4 days for my consultation!!!

Thank you everyone. I'm addicted to this app! My phone battery has gone from 80% to 19% in the matter of a few hours. I can't stop reading and looking at success stories!!

Hi everyone! I'm going to a seminar January 7th and I hope to get my Lapband shortly after that.
I'm nervous and excited at the same time!
