Hey Mia i'm on my 8th day of the pre-op diet and let me tell you its been hard but i'm doing it. I had a problem keeping the protein shakes down so my surgeon told me to eat eggs instead. So far since I started the diet I have lost 14lbs and im super proud of myself. My surgery date is the 27th of this month...OMG I'M NERVOUS!!! Keep your head up hun you can do it and it will all be worth it in the end!!! Keep in touch and good luck with everything!!!

Hi everyone my name is Asia and here is my story!!! I have been struggling with my weight since I was 14 years old. Being the fat kid was not easy. I was constantly teased by my classmates and even my own family. Throughout the years I have tried many ways to loose weight...Diets, Nutritionist, pills...everything but the weight is still here. I have chronic Asthma and being heavy does not help. Alot of people look at me and say "You are not that big...you just have big thighs" and my reply is always "Cloths hide alot"! I hurts to hear the remarks about my weight from my own mother and sisters. They say the reason for them is to motivate me to loose the weight but all it does is break me down inside. I am now 27 years old and married to a great man that loves me for me, yet i'm still unhappy because of my weight. Recently I was approved thru Tricare for the Lap Band and now I am finishing up the last bit of stuff before I get a surgery date. I found this website and I think its great!!! You get the good and the bad from those that have had the surgery. To everyone out there...THANK YOU for taking the time to share your advice and stories with all of us!!! You are truly helping those of us that are either considering or actually getting the band. :thumbup:
