Hello Everyone

I am not sure of what I am feeling. Today, is my b-day and I just started my liquid diet because my surgery in on the 16th. Over joyed with happiness that I am finally set to get the surgery, but sad that I have to get surgery and I cannot eat my cake. Oh well, I am looking toward a healthier me. I need a lap band mentor because I am dying to lick a piece of steak with a side of birthday cake ; ) Can anyone give me some happy thoughts?

oh dear!!! Well, hun i would say " bad timing " but theres never a bad time to get healthy !! You are getting your life back ! Just think of it like that. You are doing what you need to do .. so you'll have lOTS more birthdays ( and cake ) in the future !! =) Keep your head up sweetie ! BE PROUD OF YOURSELF !!! =)

Happy Birthday!!!! Just keep thinking how great you are going to look this time next year!! Don't give in for what you want right now (cake/steak) for what you always wanted (to be skinny). Don't let food have that much power in your life anymore! Get pleasure or treat yourself to things like pedicures, massages, an exercise class,a good book or some nonfood item. Enjoy your day in other ways and be proud that you are taking control of your life! You go girl!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! ugh it suck to be on the liquid diet on your bday!!!!! i strategically planned when i would get my band so i would be able to eat "normal food" by my bday! the only thoughts i can offer are to focus on the end product, getting banded and changing your life! Congrats on your decision to get banded. How is the liquid diet so far? How long do you have to do it? Mines was two weeks and the first 2 days were the hardest. Feel free to PM if you have questions. Enjoy your bday and try to find something fun to do to get your mind off the steak and cake! LOL!

Hello Again Fellow Lapbanders,

Thanks for the words of encourgement; More or less it will be another page in my life. I needed the encouragement from all of you because I KNOW my life is about to change and it is hard to move to the next page when you don't know the next word. As I plan for bed, God has turned the page to Chapter 34 and I am ready to read my story. Here comes another Twist in my life 16th of June!!!!!!!!!!!! YAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Uptwist

I just have to say that your title cracked me up because it is what I have been feeling for over 3 days. Happy Belated Birthday!

Thanks for the B-Day greeting. I thought it would at least make people smile .

Can anyone give me some happy thoughts?

This should make you feel better......I started my liquid diet the day before Thanksgiving. I had to go to a company holiday dinner 5 days before surgery.... My surgery was on Dec 9. I made it through all of the December temptations drinking liquid! I started mushies on Christmas Day. I had mashed potatoes. On New Years DayI was alowed to start solids.... How appropriate... huh?

You will find that it isnt too bad... once the weight starts coming off you are so focused on the success that the food becomes secondary.

hey....i totally feel...but Happy bday... i'm on my liquid diet as well starting 2day. my surgery is on the 16th also.. all i can say is keep ur head up...i'm going thru hell myself. so theres not much i can say... i decided 2 read ur replies for my own encouragement...lol... good luck
