Well I have feeling much better since I have FINALLY decided to work-out more frequently. I can really see a change in my body now since I had the last fill.I was getting a bit worried because I have my first fill and they put only 4cc (which is standard I'm told) well it felt like nothing and I kept overeating. I even gained 3 pounds back. Well since I had my second fill it's made a world of difference. I don't eat very much and have lost 8 pounds in about 5 days!!! I am a bit concerned though...

ehealthinsurance dot com just saved me a lot of time. I called this sweet rep named Shannon and she was straight up with me and said, "None of these plans include bariatric surgery, it's not an option with almost ALL individual plans."


HA!

Thanks, Kaiser. Geesh. I still e-mailed obesitylaw.com and to see if there was something I can do since an agent lied to me and said Bariatric Surgeon was included in individual policies.

My surgery date is just around the corner. In the last week I've found so much strength and comfort with this website. I hope others are as lucky as I to have found this site prior to their surgery.

Today I had the Last Supper Syndrome. I chose Carlos O'Kelly's for a Santa Fe Chicken Salad for my last sensible meal before my clear liquids start tomorrow morning.

I'm ready.

Today was really good except my body is passing through all the fatty, greasy foods. Im thinking that since this is my second time on the pre op diet my mind is finer tuned this time for the food change. I also found some f/f popcorn that i will be enjoying to snack on. I am a big snacker. I bought a apple slicer today at walmart and some low fat peanut butter...really excited about that. I love to eat carmel apples so thats as close as i will get to one lol. My mother is buggin...

I just told my hubby that I'm going through the steps to have the LAP-BAND^® done. He was surprisingly receptive to the idea. He just said that I thought that is what I needed to do then he was all for it. For some reason I thought he would try to talk me out of it by saying all I needed was a good diet and exercise but he already knew about the LAP-BAND^® and what I had to do once I had it done. Apparently he did his own research, I can only assume because he was thinking of bringing it up to me...
