I work in an office where i interact w/ ppl everyday! I've mentioned my surgery (soon to come) to a few close co-workers..but i too wonder what ppl will say. my liquids starts in 2 days, that will be the first dramatic effect when i lose just a few from that.

cindy-hope for a speedy recovery..take care and i'll be thinking of you

thanks, its sad

hope you have a speedy recovery..take care..

This is great! Keep it up

I AM GREEK, WE HAVE AWESOME WAYS OF COOKING FISH..FOR THE MOST PART ITS BAKED AND/OR BROILED..IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, I CAN TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF FISH TO GET AND HOW TO COOK IT..I BET THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THE FISH YOU MAY BE GETTING IS 1) BREADED (GUESSING) AND 2) FISHY-SMELLING.

I saw a forum under recipies.. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f82/mushies-stage-recipes-17637/

I can't explain what it's like to go through this with no support. My 12 soon-to-b 13 year old is worried i'll get skinnier than her..(odd), she (i've mentioned before) is upset i'm doing it a day after her bday (worked around work schedule). The b/f is against surgeries period doesn't think i've tried everything..now i'm second guessing..i know this is what i want. I know my b/f was attracted to me the way i am. Do i risk losing him when i get skinny? Well then he never truly loved me. This will be the real test. I don't have anyone else...it's hard when you dont have support. What do you do?

you need to be a writer...i have tears streaming down my face...that was the most beautiful piece of work i've read in a long time....i really felt moved by your writing. Good job on feeling great and I hope it continues like that. Great that you had support....

Wow bernie, that sounds pretty yummy lol.. My being nervous comes from my job. It's sedentary. What to do when i can no longer munch all day...im so worried...

For ppo you have to do 6 months..i had ppo and switched it to hmo and got approved immediatly...good luck to y'all

Take care of yourself honey..we're here for ya...

wow..i hope you have support while going through this..it must be frustrating..good luck to ya

omg i am so with you on that!!!...amen sista' )..good luck to us both..........i start 9/23!!

I don't think they'll start you or register you for anything until they have the approval...I know I didn't get my information about the pre-op class until *after* approval...I'm just nervous about keeping the liquid diet..it sounds so hard to do..

hey Lyn, congratulations!! Thanks for posting and keep it up! :cursing:
