see.........are you doing anything to prepare yourself?

so I did t do so well with not eating after 8.Today is a new day .......

Elizabeth21 thank you for that. I saw myself starting to obsess more as the process became closer and closer to my date. I weighed myself every day and the disappointment in gaining was devasting at times, even when I knew I did nothing to lose. Right now I am eating my first cauliflower steak. It is very good. I feel I need to be more in plan mode for my meals and exercise needs encouragement as well so thank you. NovaLuna I CANT WAIT TO FEEL THAT LOOSER CLOTHING.This is the heaviest I have been in my life. I am trying to mobility issues and depression from a dog mauling two years ago. Actually I have therapy in ten minutes .thank you again

I just rejoined the page yesterday. I read through many forums which are great! I wanted to add one to see if it can inspire me to be more successful in my preop and postop weight loss. As we all know the journey is hard just to decide to go through the process .for the surgery in the first place. What have you thought or started doing to help your life change to lose weight and keep it off? They say it takes 21 days to rewire the mind to break a habit. Today I am started with not eating after 8pm.

how are you doing ? can you elaborate on the day after to now. Can I walk my dog?

Hey Tim, First I wanted to say hang in there. Please dont read anymore insurance stuff.Its just going to get your blood pressure up. I too have the band put in April 2009.I had lost 55 pounds before and nothing afterwards. I did gain a Hiatal hernia and gastric paresis. after 2 tries I had the band let and lived with pain for years. Finally I had removal in 2016. The doctor offered another procedure and I said. Good thing I did my hernia was huge and I needed time to heal properly before anything else. So 4 years later I am now a whopping 336 as of this morning. I was approved Wednesday. But Monday the insurance kept asking for lots of info. I was told it there usual and that I had a procedure before the guarantee was there. I hope you do not have t appeal but your doctors know how to get it done So dont worry.

I was just approved wednesday. I all have left is my stress test on the 22nd. Expecting my date is in july
