April 29th is the date!!!!!
I got my date! I am so excited.
There may be one small snag on that date. My doc requires a 4 week optifast prior to surgery. So I have to start my classes and fast next week. They have the classes on Thursdays. Well, my daughter (she's 3) is going into the hospital in Detroit on Monday to be evaluated for brain surgery. She is scheduled to be released on Thursday but I am not sure what time.
So there is a possibility that I wont be able to make it to the class on Thursday. Of course they wont budge on the class and my daughter is more important than the class. So if I cant get there then my surgery will get pushed back a week and I will start my fast in 2 weeks.
I have to admit that I feel like I need to eat like a fiend this week to make sure I eat everything I want. But I want this so bad. I grew up a very thin person and realized today that I have been fat longer than I was thin :( I have to be around long enough to care for my twins and particulary the one who has already had 1 brain surgery and another one pending.
Since they are only 3 yrs old they can grow up seeing a positive example with food rather than what I grew up with having an overweight mother.
I'm on my way!!!!

I am having lap band done with a 2week opti fast diet! good luck I know what you mean the race is on to get in every kind food you love and may never be able to have again! take care
