Hopefully the 14th.

I want to Celebrate my lap-band date like a birthday in the future.

Hello Everyone! First let me say Congratulations to those that have a date! And those who are working on it, don't give up! My insurance was a complete no from the get go. So I am self pay. My hubby and I have been saving for 4 months. We are gonna make a good dent in the Care Credit loan. Having said that, my date is October 8! My birthday is October 9! What a wonderful birthday present! I am so excited. However, beware of the Last Supper Syndrome. I have been on and off with that since June when we started saving and I knew I was getting surgery. Thank the Lord above for what I am about to tell you. I have been a wreck this week because my preop diet starts a week from today, and I would be so ashamed if I gained since June when I had my initial consultation. We went last night and bought some whey protein to start over on Monday and a scale. THANK THE LORD I AM STILL 235. I was so sick, I swore I gained over 10 lbs. This is my last weekend. And I want sushi for sure and one other luxury food before reality is here. I AM SO READY AND EXCITED FOR THE NEW ME!!! I HAVE BEEN HEAVY MY WHOLE LIFE! I SEE THE LIGHT OF FREEDOM! WOOOOHOOOOO!

hmmm not sure how I got a quote in that last post??

I am only to suppose to do high protein low fats/sugar for a 7 days prior then 4 days prior do clear liquid only. Not bad. I dont know if that means 3 days high protein then 4 liquids only or what but I will start 11 days out.
