God is good!! I hope you keep feeling better and enjoy your new gift.

Whooo-Hooo, FOR SURE!!! I am soo happy for you, congrats!

I met with the surgeon and nutritionist yesterday for the first time and it was no big deal. The surgeon asked me why the LapBand (vs gastric bypass), she checked my scars from previous surgeries(check to see how well I healed) and we discussed some questions I had. Next week I have my psych eval which I am a little nervous about.

You are not a "quitter", in fact my surgeon said in the seminar that having the Lap Band procedure is not the "easy way out" but one of the hardest decisions because this is a life changing experience in many ways. Good Luck and keep your chin up!!

You soon will not feel like you want to eat everything. I was on the Optifast program last year, so I understand what you are going thru. It takes about 6 days. The smell of certain foods made me want to cry, I was so wanting to eat!!! :redface: Also, it's not normal to only have liquids and our need to chew is hard to break. Good Luck and keep us posted as I have not been banded yet.
