5 weeks to go!

Jul 13, 2011

My lap band is scheduled for 8/16/11!!!!!!! I have two weeks left before I go on my liquid diet for 3 weeks.  That seems impossibile, but i have to do it.  I will make it through those 3 weeks.  If I can quit smoking, I can be on a liquid diet for 3 weeks before surgery!

I'm worried about paying my co-pay. My benefit card is down to zero already for the year, I hope they will let me make payments. I don't think it will even be 2000, but I am worried about it.  I keep looking at before/after pictures and keep thinking maybe next year I will be able to post an after picture.  

I've been thinking about how much i want to lose.  I've decided on 120 lbs.  I'm ready to be as thin as i was in high school.  I haven't been under 200lbs since 1992.  Even then, I look at pictures when i weighed 180, or 160 and just didn't look good.  But I think compared to what i look like now, that would look so much better!!!!!! 

I've heard of people changing when they lose weight after surgery. Some changes are not good. I don't want to be like that. I don't want to forget who I am.  I don't have to worry about my marriage, that's been over for 3 yrs now.  I'm not in a relationship, so I am confident I'm doing this for myself and my kids.  My physical this year was not so good.  Getting older, things not working properly....I'm anxious to lose weight so hopefully these things will go away. :)
