11/30/09:

I am starting a new diet plan AGAIN! I hope this works. I have a schedule set up that works with my work schedule where I work full time. I figured on my two 15 min breaks that I have during the day, that I can drink protein on each one and get on here to keep me busy--and the big one--EXERCISE again! This is what got me to lose weight real good the first time....I figured a controlled eating habbit, more protein and exercise and then go get a fill and I should be on the road again to weight loss. We will see! I go 12/7/09 to have a fill, I think this will be my third one, but I have no restriction for now. I also, have an appt with my psychitrist 12/3/09--need to get my depression and bad self esteem in control! I weighed myself today and I weigh 267.6 ---so I have 67 pounds to go--i would like to get down to 185--but I just to hit 199 or 200 would be GREAT!! I am in 24 pants now and if I get to 235 then I can fit in an 18--so lets uset hat goal first! So, I need to lose 32 pounds then go from there! To lose 8 pounds a month would be great for me! Okay, lets start this new journey and see what happens...I CAN DO IT!:cursing:

Hello! I am in a great mood! Today was my Pre-Op class where I met a bunch of wonderful people. It's exciting to know we will be taking this journey together. I was nervous of failing the "New Lifestyle" and not being a success story, but the things I've learned from the pre-op class today, I think will help me through the hard times (binge eating). My final Post-Op appointment with my doctor is 4/9/07 to set up the surgery date..Yeah! A new me is on its way :biggrin1: !

Good luck to all and keep me in your prayers

I finally went to the Weight Loss Seminar yesturday 11/30/06:clap2:, and so they said that I should be contacted next week for an appointment with the doctor ! Woo hoo..I am so excited! Yet nervous :phanvan . I'm ready to start a healthy new life and a life where I am not too embarrassed to go out in public or hang out with friends at there events, go out and play with my son. Just hope that I dont end up being one of patients that they discussed that gets the surgeries and yet no change in weight. Wish me luck and keep my in your prayers please!

Hello All:

I am new to this site...I have actually been researching the Lap Band and came across this site. I go to the weight loss educational meeting on November 30, 2006 am and VERY nervous, because from there, I will be contacted to get the ball rolling to the Lap Band process. I wanted it about 4-5 months ago, but my insuranse did not cover it. Now for 2007 it does. I refuse to get the gastric and hope this is a better/safer procedure. I am very scared..reading all the complications those have had with not losing weight, or the port flipping, and other scary stuff. I would hate to have this all done for nothing, and then nothing but bad turn out of it. I am 280 pounds, 5'8" and would like to be down to 165 or 155 at lowest...not sure it that will happen. It's scary thinking of surgery and having something put into my body, but I have to do something...I am to the point I dont want to go in public...so neededless to say, I am ready to start a new journey, just hope this all works out for me. If I have this done, it will be in January 2007.

Nice to meet you all, I look forward to being part of your family

You were right...It is helping someone out here...and that is me! Thanks! Your journal is very helpful.
