I've already lost 3 pounds!!! I can't say that it is easy though cause of course it is high protein low carb low fat!!!! I am really having a tough time with the low carb thingy I love my bread sugar all that good stuff. (maybe I'm fat because I do) LOL

I have managed to cut back on my diet coke drastically I'm down to about 16 to 20 oz per day vs 64 to 80 oz per day. It is actually starting to taste a bit bad for some reason. I'm finding it hard to drink that much right...

After going to my surgeon's office on 3/10/08 I am really undecided. When I went in to the appointment I just knew that I wanted a lapband without a doubt. But after meeting several of the office staff at my surgeon's office that have had gastric bypass instead of the band and seeing how wonderful they look and how they make the gastric bypass sound I am starting to change my mind.

Please help me make up my mind remind me of the pro's and cons of each one maybe I've missed a pro or...

I get to go to my first real appointment tomorrow to get my lab work, physc consult, dietitian, and meet my surgeon. I'm really excited.

But I am also feeling really bad right now. I have urinary tract infection, a really bad cold and just feel drained physically. Last night the pain in my back from the urinary tract infection got bad enough for me to give in a go to the urgent care clinic. This is when I found out that I had the infection. Now granted my back was and still is hurting...

I've got my referals for my appointments on Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a go I think that Tricare will pay for the surgery at least I hope so. According to the Tricare Rep that I spoke to if I get the referal approved it means that they will most likely pay for my surgery with my out of network surgeon. Doing my happy dance. Anybody else want to join me?

OMG this is so awful I have to log everything that goes into my mouth for 1 whole week. This is day one. I am starving to death but can't bring myself to eat the rest of my McSkillet Burrito because I know that the dietitian is going to be looking at the log and saying to herself "yep I know what this one's problem is"

I think I'll eat the whole thing and skip lunch then it won't look so bad right? I mean after I have the surgery there won't be anymore fast food for me so...
