Went to Marshall's yesterday and saw the cutest skinny jeans by Michael Kors. They were on sale for $20.00, lime green and slender. Ok....I brought them, however; my mind is telling me the same old thing, "You can't fit that!" Then I realized for the first time, there is no one siting on my shoulder or my mind does not control itself. It's ME TALKING TO ME ABOUT ME! That has to stop! I love who I am becoming and the strides I have taken to become a better me! I am on a journey to love every facet of my body. And no longer will I allow myself to put me down!

Bufflehead.....lol I'm laughing uncontrollably!

Once your approved it can not be retracted. Your insurance approved you based on the collective information from all your evaluations. Are you on a liquid diet? If so, that is probably the cause for all the weight lost. If you were to go back to your everyday life could you continue to drop the weight? Probably or maybe not. You are ahead of the weight loss success, you will just have less to loss on the other side. Keep up the GREAT WORK! *my surgery is scheduled for 12/5/13 : )

Thanks, however; it been almost two weeks and my craving have not subsided! But I can say I've cheated and eat steamed broccoli. Everything has been healthy foods.

Great advice....my surgery is 12/5/13 and the liquid diet has been a struggle but I have not put anymore weight on since the 12 I dropped. I'm sitting here making a grocery list at 1:45 am and watching YouTube videos. My nervous are setting in and I'm beginning to doubt that I can keep this up, ike everything else I've tried in the past. Going to pray and ask God to help me continue this journey without doubting the multiple abilities he has blessed me with. Venting.....always works! Good night all! *12/5/13 : )

Yes please do best I had four shakes today but just eat steamed broccoli and had to, I was so hungry.

I did not consider lap band because once I make this life style change I didn't want to go back and forth to the doctor I increase and decrease cc. I want to roll out of the ER and begin to manage my weight like I never could in the past. I have lost 60lbs. on my own in the last 2 years and it felt good! Now I want to move forward without my weight holding me back. The sleeve will allow ME the opportunity to do just that. Go luck to you in your journey.

Mine is 12/5 : ) keep in touch!

After my sleeve, my stomach will be to traumatized to eat, cheat or anything else. Over the last two years I have lost 60lbs on my own. I'm at a plateau now. I have put a lot of work into changing how eat, what goes into my body and exercise. I'm past ready for this next step. As far as the cheating goes, I've added spinach to my broth with fresh green beans. Just to feel full and get a different taste in my mouth. The support here is amazing, thank you all!

Thanks!

Awwwww ladies that is a wonderful gesture, I live in Tampa, FL.

Get idea!

I have been on a liquid diet for a week and a half. I am surprised too and my surgery date 12/5/13.

Hbeasely my surgery is 12/5/13 and I don't even have anyone to stay with me in the hospital. However, I'm going and will work out recover alone after I'm sleeved! Good luck! Welcome!

Why scared????

December 5, 2013!!!!!!!!!! : )

I just cheated literally! But I went to the gym and worked for a half hour this morning. I lose 12 lbs. in four days and have gained back 4 of those pounds. :~( but each new day is another day to prove to myself who I want to become. I'm having surgery on 12/5/13 and after that I would NOT be able to cheat at ALL! Not sure if I helped but keep up the good fight!

How is it going?

Are you in Florida?

Congrats my surgery is 12/5/13, how do you add someone as a friend?

I have to do the liquid diet for two weeks. Started on 11/22/13, surgery on 12/5/13

I started my liquid diet on 11/22/13 and by my weigh in date 11/26/13 I lose -12lbs. You can do it stick with it. I must be truthful, I did cheat on day one and two. However I regrouped because I realized I have done enough of that my entire life! I drink so much water between my opifast shakes my mind is turned off of food. It's been said it takes 21 days for your body to get use to something. I believe I am conditioned to my shakes, sugar-free jello, Popsicles, crystal light (which seems too sweet this week), and organic vegetable broth (with low sodium). You can do it! I started my journey of a better me about 5 years ago. I finished my degree, got a divorce (that's a good thing), career advancements, braces, lost 70lbs. on my own, and the cherry on the cake is my #vsg! Take these nocturnal couple of weeks to put you FIRST! See this thing through!

I'm drinking opifast shakes and yes I may have sugar-free jello, Popsicles, and broth.

No fruit!

You can do it, I am on a liquid diet and only had 3 days to lose 10lbs. I was a so nervous. Only because if I could lose 10lbs. in such a short amount of time why would I need surgery? Anyway, I started on 11/22/13 and weighted in on 11/26/13, to my surprise I lost -12lbs. I have a renew outlook on the liquid diet. Drink a lot of water. You know it's working when your going to the bathroom 20 times a day. Good luck, know you can do and you will!
