  • im doing it by myself, eating non fat and very lowfat. i been struggling for years. weight issues and food issues. im going to see therapist. i cant afford surgery.

  • OBESE!

  • to loose weight u need to eat right kind of food and exercise more! eat more greens and drink alot of water... fill those days with training.. plan your days around your training not the other way around! its rly easy but hard to keep ongoing!

  • It is none of anyones buisness how people lose weight as long as they get healthier. Why dont you people with the negative comments go find a hobby or donate your free time to a nursing home or something cause your neg comments are not needed..

  • loosing weight the easy way. do it it like me and cut back. weight watchers is great. i hate when folks expect congrats for getting surgery and those of us who do it the hard way get none.

  • I hope it works for you but I am shocked! Slim Fast like Dexatrim and Weight Watchers are fads and scams. They are not nutritionally balanced either. I cant belive that any reputable hospital advocates diet products. Bet they get a nice kickback for it too. Maybe your weight is beyond the Slimfast help for longterm use but think about it. Why not use it longterm if it works? I hope your not at risk. There are fatfarms and hospitals that offer cures. Talk to Carnie Wilson and her hellish battle.

  • congrats on surgery diet! Keep us posted!

  • You're getting SO CLOSE!!! :) Reading the nutritional program on the right...that seems pretty balanced and fulfilling. Does all of this seem surreal to you right now? I think it would to me. Heck, even when I was in the beginning stages it all seemed so surreal. I can't imagine how it's going to feel when I get as close as you are right now. :)

  • I know!! 14 DAYS! I am so excited that I can barely stand it. My meals are going pretty well. I have to admit that I'm starting to get a little hungry, but I'll just have to push through it. Hey, it's only 2 weeks, right!? I hope that you can get things worked out for you very soon!

  • You're on the final countdown!! I'm so happy for you. Seems like you are on the ball as to what you need to do. Information is power. Congrats on your life changing decision! Looking forward to watching your transformation!

  • Thanks Jackie! You can never stop learning right?! I can't wait...just counting downt the days now. :D

  • Yeah! Your getting closer! I'm so very excited for you. Do you have the book Weightloss surgery for dummies? I highly recommend it, it really helped me out. Good luck, let me know if you need anything!

    Amy

  • Thanks Amy! :D Yes I do have that book. I loved it!! I'm going to re-read it this week since I'm getting so much closer to my date. I have about 10 wls books; some of them are specialized in Lap Band.

  • hey Amy! You are on the downhill slide now... so exciting! The first 3 days of the preop liquid diet were hard for me, but all i was allowed was 3 shakes a day! Good luck!

  • Thanks Jane! I'm glad I have a mixed meal plan with liquids and food. I don't know if I'd be strong enough to do a full liquid especially like some of the people out there that have to do it longer than 2 weeks! I think my relationship with the scale is getting better! :D

  • OMG 17 days to go! Good luck on the Pre-op! :)

  • I know Sherry! I am so incredibly excited!! :D I'm doing pretty good on pre-op I think. I'm just trying not to weigh myself everyday! haha At least after the surgery, I'll have a better relationship with the scale.

  • woooo-hooo!!  19 days to go! :)

  • I know!! It's soooooo exciting!!

  • Amy, you can do it girl!! Sounds like you have everything very well planned and very organized..you go girl!!! Can't wait to hear how everything goes as I know you will do super well!!! Keep up the good work...you will be on the winning end in no time! :)

  • Thank you so much! I can't wait either! I check my countdown like 12 times per day! haha.

  • Good luck on the pre op diet. I am sure you will fly through it and pretty soon you will be post op!

  • Thanks so much!! I hope so. I'm just counting the days! :D

  • Thanks MJ! There are a few more rules that I get clarified when I got to my pre-op appointment (like no butter or sour cream, etc--even diet versions).

  • Good luck with the pre-op diet. That was very detailed information. It's great that they actually spell everything out for you instead of leaving some gray areas. 19 days, that's not long at all! So exciting!

  • Hey girly! it's almost time!!! (for both of us) I'm so excited for us!!!!!! Good luck with the pre - op diet. I am actually going to modify my pre op diet... and will be doing a video to share about it on monday. xoxo -Renee

  • I am so excited I can't stand it!! :D 2009 will be the best year yet for us! I will be looking for your video.

  • LOL, I have one of those calendars for my tuck. I so happy you're on your way to a better life. Good luck to you and please let us know more as the days come closer. Take care, Annette

  • Thanks for being so interested in my story! :D I really appreciate it! I will definately keep posting on what's going on with me. I love to countdown the days; plus it keeps me on track better knowing that there isn't too much longer.

  • woohoo almost here girl..may god give you the strength to do the pre-op cause you want to keep the surgery I will be praying..love rosemary

  • Thanks Rosemary! I'm just counting down the days!

  • Hi Amy, that was a lot of imformative information. This is excellent for pre-op patients. That is a really cool book, they didn't give me anything like that. I use the Viactiv choclate vitamins too. There the best. I prefer them to any other vitamins. I also drink the instant breakfast shake in the morning. Its just as good as slim fast. Again, Good luck on your pre-op diet. Wish u the best, *Melanie*

  • Thanks Melanie! I love this book that they made. It's great because I won't forget anything we talk about you know. I still have to buy vitamins for post-op but I'm going to ask a few questions about them at my pre-op appointment before I buy them. I'll look into finding the Carnation one.
