I have discovered locker hooking and have put my knitting away for a while so I can work on the little mat I am hooking.

3 days to go! Will be so glad to finish this pre op diet!

Just under 3 weeks to go till my surgery! Getting nervous and excited thinking about it!

I will be banded October 19th and love to read all the success stories from others who have been banded!

I will be banded on October 19th, Cant wait to get there! I see you have lost 71 lbs! Awesome! How long did it take you to lose the weight?

I havent had my surgery yet but was told to help with the hunger make sure you get all your protein in and same as 48vixen says, keep hydrated.

I am a little late, but welcome! Let us know how you make out on your fitness journey.

thanks everyone! I am getting excited/scared as the date looms closer...lol Gayle, when is your surgery date?

I will be getting the lap band on October 19th. I was told that once I get the go ahead I should get right back into my exercise routine in order to lose steadily and to keep exercising after I have reached my goal weight. Just take one step at a time. It takes 21 days to create a habit so if you can at least walk for 15…

My financing was approved and my surgery date is October 19th!

thanks guys! I am waiting for financial approval right now since I am in Canada and have to self pay.

hugs and prayers for you:flowerforyou:

Maybe you were using her favorite tread mill?

Awesome job! You can be very proud of yourself!

What an awesome essay! Very inspiring! OP dont worry about what other people think. You will be so busy concentrating on what you are doing that you probably wont notice anyone else. I am 252 lbs (sw 272 at Christmas) and I too want to run. I walked a 5km race in May and thoroughly enjoyed it but boy did I envy those…

Chocolate!!!

Yes, low fat greek yogurt- mix with fresh or frozen fruit (with a bit of honey if you want it sweeter ) in a blender and freeze it. Tastes cold, creamy and yummy!

Probably not heading for a plateau. If you have only been doing this for 2 weeks I would think it is your body adjusting to your new way of life. I wouldnt measure again for at least a month. Wishing you lots of luck in your new endeavour!

Absolutely a personal trainer is worth it!!!

omg what an amazing transformation!!!

remember this is a lifestyle change not a quick fix so no I wouldnt use them.

thanks everyone!! I just love the support and motivation on MFP!

thanks everyone! I keep thinking I only imagined I fit into the jeans...lol I really have distorted ideas about my body and my weight.

I am not a fan of things like Herbalife so I would say go for the oatmeal.

I just posted my NSV on another thread but here it is again - My journey started at size 24 and today I was able to fit into a size 18 pair of jeans that have been in my closet for a very long time!

I was told not to take them by the woman at the health food store because I am on thyroid meds.
