No problem, We all make silly mistakes...It is easy to correct at least...
Last week at work, I kid you not!! I kept putting 2006 for the year on all my paper work!! I'm talking like 25 different papers on different days! It was so funny! I have no idea why I did it either! When do you start you pre diet? If you have to do one. I have to lose 15 pounds more before my pre surgery diet..and do 2 week pre diet too. Take care, the very best to you on your surgery. Hugs to you surgery Sister!! Alizka

1st goal to be under 200. Done! 2nd goal to be just obese. Third goal is to be under 170 by Thanksgiving 2009. I Pray I can make it. I know the Lord will help me through this.

Topic: Anxiously awaiting Mid May Date -Need to Vent!
Sorry, I just need to vent/cry...I need support....I started my journey in October 2009. i am anxiously awaiting a mid May surgery date mainly due to insurance requirements. Hopefully there will be no question for approval. The 7 month diet evaluation is killing me!! I've been counseled on my weight for the last 32 years!!! I've been satified all other testing requirements so I sit here and wait. The nurse at the docs office keeps trying to encourage me that it is right around the corner, but i'm still freaking out. I also have an issue where I cannot lose any weight or I will fall below the requirement. I can't believe I have that problem, but a recent broken engagement 2 months ago is to blame for the weight loss. I am still no where near the weight I should be....This is a very tough time for me. i never thought that I would have to maintain this weight, but if I don't, all of this time spent will be lost......then i will have a a broken engagement, and denied WLS. I am tired of hearing "such a pretty face"... I have my last weigh in on April 28 then they can submitt the paperwork to the Insurance and at that point schedule me a date...hopefully May 11 or 12. ASAP!!! I am just trying to get through the days/weeks but I'm having a rough time...all around.:(
Thanks,
Toni

Topic: IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE
Hi everyone
My name is Nancy and i am the first poster to this board. I live in New York have a wonderful husband and two beautiful boys. I started this journey back in April when a good friend of mine tolfd me she was getting the lap band done. For the past 4 months or so i have been contemplating on whether or not this is something i really want to do, researching many website and jsut seeing what other people have to say. I went to the informations einar at NYU on Sept 23, 2008[. Just last week i was able to finally find out from my insurance Empire BCBS POS that i will need the need 6 months supervised medical diet . Now i never really had a pcp and therefor dont mt attempts at WL documented. . I made an appointment with my PCP- for next wednesday ( who i only know since july, 2008) On moday i took a personal day sat down and told my husband thaT i decided to move forward with my attempt to get the lap band surgery, and feel wonderfult That i am completely supported by him. I am excited and scared about this process. I'm unclear if i have to go to a nutritionist ofr sx months or if visiting my PCp will be enough? i have been expereincing a range of different emotions as i think bac k on the previous weight loss successes and failed attempts, feeling angry b/c i know i tried hard, feeling sad-becauSe most of the weight i have now is due to baby weight(when i got marreid in 2005- i ws 210 lbs and three months pregnant, withmy first son Ian,who was born 3/19/08- w went upto 250lbs- 7 months later found out i was preggos again- and was 280 by the time i gave birth to my second son Lucas on 7/13/07.) I am now still 250- BMI _40 and have not dropped any weight.. I mean i have always struggled with my weight but this is the biggest that i have been and it is just hard for me to look int he mirror and be happy with what i see- and i guess i'm sad that i don;t like what i see. Looking forward to the jOurney but i knoW that in order for tHis to be successful.. i have to batte my inner food demons, confront my issues with food, and change my relationship with food.... this will not be an easy task.. but i am at a point where i have to make it happen or fear that i will be depressed if i don't.. I am tireD of being depressed about my weight.. it's time for change
