October 7th and it can't come fast enough. have a real hard time with the pre diet before the 10 day liquid diet gained 6 lbs. I just hate myself right now and cant get myself to get the ball rolling. now that I'm finally here I am screwing it up big time. I wish I could kick myself in the butt. I try to talk myself into getting on with the walks or get on the treadmill. I'm not a lazy person at all, wish I had Chris Powell to train me! but I don't...how do I get in the game and start this right. I got to get these 6 lbs. back off before the 10 day diet. I just hate myself grrrr

We all have or will mess up in the beginning. Just get the motivation back and keep reminding yourself WHY you started this process. You can do it. This is second day on pre diet and it is rough. Mind over matter

I start my pre op on the 26th and not looking forward to it but you have to keep going back on the reasons why you want this surgery and all that you have done to get to this point. We can do this. Mind over matter and its about the prize at the end. :-)

Y'all are so right! I just gotta stop it!! get over what ever it is!!!...and keep truck'n along. thanks y'all time to dust off the treadmill thanks a bunch both y'all.

We will be here for one another.

October 1 for me. I am so excited and want to get my life back. I lost my first band due to erosion. I gained 100 pounds back of the 120 I lost.

We are October 1st banders. Lol. How long did u have your first band?

I had it from 2003 to 2012. I didn't find out about the erosion until my band was attempted to be replaced because I didn't have any symptoms, other than weight gain. I attributed the gain to stress and quitting smoking. I went for a fill and found no fluid. I had the port replaced first but it kept losing fluid so we thought I had a defective band. I had one of the small bands done in Mexico as self pay. My insurance wouldn't pay. Now I'm married and my husbands insurance pays. And I'm so incredibly happy!

yay!! it'll be the 10th for me... a lil weight already lifted off my shoulders!

I'll be banded on oct 4. I began the preop diet today. I must say that I have fears that this surgery will not work for me because as it is now I don't eat very much but can't seem to lose weight and keep it off...I go back and forth with 5lbs and I work out 3x a week. Frustrated

ohh i soo feel ya...ive been having those same thoughts also. i am hypothyroid and have never had such a hard time losing weight! and believe me i have tried. from what i hear on here ppl lose the weight as long as they try and follow dr rules.
