Mira77 reacted to Sassygirl06 in Just an observation...not intended to offend anyone
I am finally in maintenance stage...and I can tell you that I feel completely normal now. I do still have a lot of restriction, so I can't have everything that I used to be able to. However I don't act like I am on a diet anymore. If there is something I want, then I have it...just a lot less then I used to before surgery. I feel strongly that if there is something I want and I tell myself I can't have it...then I find myself obsessing over it until I just break down anyways...and then usually I go overboard. I have learned a lot in this process. I feel incredably lucky to have been able to give myself this gift, and I don't intend on waisting it...but I also don't intend on being on a diet for the rest of my life. I did this so I could LIVE again. I really feel like I am finally living my life the way I always wanted to! good luck to all of you!

Mira77 got a reaction from Happy2beme in August 13th Surgery Team & Support: Anyone?
Hi!
I was just approved by my insurance (Aetna) yesterday for an August 13th surgery date. I'm so nervous! I didn't want to start believing it was going to happen until I was approved by insurance. I started this journey in March and did nutritional counseling and other pre-op appointments over the last few months.
Now it's all too real! I've never been in the hospital, never had surgery, never broken anything (lol) so this is all new.
I started out with the idea of getting lap band but after some research decided that my lifestyle and needs are best met by this surgery.
I start my two week liquid diet on 7/30.
I have consent for surgery and pre-admission testing next week.
I would love to have some teammates for surgery and recovery. BTW I'm in New Jersey.
Best!
