Ladies. We are getting down to the wire.. Surgery is very soon.. what's going through your minds right now? As for me Im trying not to think about it, I don't want to be scared or nervous. I think the excitement factor is high BUT I don't want to get too excited. I just want to get it done and start my new life!

Had my pre-op testing today. Very nice nurse explained day of surgery routine and toured the surgical center facilities. Had blood drawn, urine specimen, & EKG.

Also was given lots more paperwork to read in preparation for this drastic change.

My focus now is more on the preparations and changes, than on the reward.

Will see therapist tomorrow.

This is day 4 of pre-op diet and it is getting easier.

I am SO FREAKIN' excited!!! I am totally ready to start my pre-op (have already done a trial run) and am just ready for my suregery day. 2/23 will be the first day of the rest of our lives and although we will have a lot of work ahead of us, the Lap Band is going to be such a wonderful tool to assist us on on way. We may have our ups and downs, but we will be successful as long as we follow the rules and remain positive!

Hey, Ladies

My surgery is on the 22th of this month. I'm excited also I was afraid to tell my mom I finally did and she was very supportive. I'm feeling so good right now. Now you know what will make my day if someone could tell me how to put the ticker and art work on my page. Lol!

We're going to do this ladies and I pray for each and everyone of us.

Be Blessed!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
