Thanks! Look...it worked!

How do I do this? I give up searching the FAQs! Thanks!

Can you tell me what happens during this? Is there something they are looking for or is it just a talk about what you need to do or what? Evaluation sounds like examination to me...am I supposed to pass with a C or better :scared2:

Hang in there honey! You will be fine and just think that in a few short months you will be looking back at this so much lighter and so much healthier!

Great post! Keep up the positive vibes and journey on!

8/11 is my date! So ready for it to begin!

Congrats Molly! I have been waiting to hear how you did! Very happy for you. I will be banded on 8/11 so I will be just starting where you just left off. Congrats again!

Thanks...got it!

Congratulations! I'm excited for you and waiting to hear all about your experience!

How do you get your posts to show your personal information at the bottom? My weight, etc...doesn't show up when I post a new thread. Thanks!

Thanks ladies...you both have great responses. I guess I am feeling so frustrated with the social aspect. I can commit if I live in a bubble but then put me around a bunch of people and I feel like I am letting them down if I don't participate. Probably a real clue as to how I got here in the first place. My true 14 days starts in 3 and I am now clearing my next weekend of social stuff so that I don't fall into the trap. It is something that I now realize that I will have to work very hard on since once that band is in there...there's no changing that! I appreciate you both taking the time!

I am new and this is my first thread. I started the liquid diet a few days early and have already blown it. I am so frustrated because the neighbors came over and we ended up having an impromptu bbq with plenty of wine and pasta and all things not allowed and I just gave in and ate. I am worried about the future. How do you get through the 5 weeks or so of liquid if you haven't told people outside of your direct family what you are doing? How do you get through weeks of social eating situations while you are on liquids? Any ideas or tips or whatever would be great. I am really worried about getting through the next month or so until I can eat again and not look so conspicuously out of place. Thanks...
