In a newbie here, but have been surfing the posts for a long time. I am 24 years old and I have been morbidly obese since I was 8. I have tried so many diets over the years and lost tons of weight only to gain twice as much back. I had finally given up on dieting and stayed the same weight without gaining for a few years. My insurance started covering lap band in January, so I have been working on getting my surgery approved since then, now it's finally here:smile: I have lost 11lbs so far on my pre-op diet and another 9 before that. I can't believe I'm already 20lbs closer to my goal and I haven't even had the surgery yet. I'm so excited. I can't wait to start having more energy to chase around my 34 month old son.

Way to go Aimee!

Congrats....keep us posted with your success

Good luck with the op. I cant wait til mine. Let me know how it goes, and how fantastic ur weight loss is!!

Great! Good luck! I have my surgery in 4 days. Can't wait. :w00t:

Thanks everyone for your support! I am 8 days out from surgery now and feeling great. I made it to the 30 lb mark. I am so proud of myself for sticking to it.
