I'm set for December 17th! Right now I go from eating really bad, since I won't be able to later, to thinking I should already be trying to shrink my liver. I'm trying to learn everything I can.

My day is the 14th. Im going to day for my pre op appt and to meet my surgeon. I started trying some Protein Shakes to see which one I would like. So far the Isopure is good. I have been adding some sweet and low and fruit to it and taste alot better. So where are you ladies ?

Im in Galveston Island, Texas. I love it here. Just had my pre op surgery appt and it went well. I really like the surgeon. He answered alot of questions for me and I more convinced now that the band is right for me, How are you girls doing ?

I'm using and loving myfitnesspal.com. (phone app). I have successfully logged for about a week the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm also subscribed to shrinkyourself.com. It addresses emotional eating through a 12-week online program. I'm only on week two and I've learned so much about why I eat and how to stop it. Trying to spend this pre-surgery time improving habits.

That shrinkyourself sounds interesting. Is it free? Phone or computer app ?

Shrink yourself is not free. Can't remember how much it is but I do remember they bill your cc in installments of $39.99 a month. Can't remember how many months. Maybe 3 (since it's a 12-week program)? Its a lot of work and you have to be willing to cut the crap and get really honest with yourself, but to me, the payoff is great! Actually, it's not an app. You just go online at www.shrinkyourself.com (I think, maybe .org???) and sign up.

I am Dec.6th but my doctor just left a message he needs to reschedule. I'm sure it will still be in December. I think they didn't realize I was an overnighter and spaces us out.

And I'm getting plication with my lap band.

I liked Dec. 6 date. Early in the month, time to adjust and be on a new eating phase for holidays.

I want to get a cheeseburger and a beer for the last time. I am also alternating between starting good habits and saying good bye to carbonated drinks and things that will pretty much be off limits.

I'm more nervous as December gets closer and more excited both at the same time.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
