doing well with no soda it still something i have to think about but practice practice and then it will be second nature for no soda!

alright so i went for my egd on 12-22-09 and hurray no hitial hernia before i went i did make it by the dr office and gave them a copy of my new insurance card. but now i feel i really need to get myself ready for getting banded. i am hopeful for a late jan. early feb surgery! so i did it i stopped today- i stopped drinking soda. i didnt realize how much of a habit it is to just grab a soda pop. i will admit i did have a mt.dew this am and that is when i realized after the fact of course that i is simply to easy to do it. i was at work tonight almost did it, well i did do it i grabbed a soda pop but caught myself and put it back. so hip hip hurray. it will be difficult but i can do it i just have to slow down and think!:drool: so now i have started on this goal i am setting a date to start my next goal. yep i am gonna start a workout routine:crying:. i feel more confident that i will actually start it because i am writing it down and putting it out there for everyone to see. i feel like i am having to answer to someone besides myself i dont feel it will be so easy to make excuses this way. so 12-28-09 will be my first day of excersizing my way to lap band day.

wwoooo hhhooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok so i had my first appt. i am getting my egd done this coming tuesday. and i can get my other preop testing besides blook work done when i call to set it up! doc said i should be able to have surgery by the end of jan!

i am very very lucky because my insurance doesnt require a supervised diet it only requires a visit with a dietician. i know this because several of the nurses i work with have the same insurance and i have spoke with them regaurding the issue and they didnt have to have this diet. so thanks so much with the info you all have provided and the nurses i work with i have a pretty good time frame.

hello all i have started my journey a little over a year ago when i began my research in gastric surgeries. and now i have less than 24 hours until my first appt. i am ready i am excited and wish i was having surgery in the am instead but it will happen i will have a lap band soon and i will feel amazingly healthier and more energetic by this time next year!:confused: i am on my way!
