Thanks for the warm welcome. I have been lurking around for a couple of days trying to read everything but there is a lot here to read. I ordered my Medifast this past weekend and can't wait for it to be here. I have read thru every success story at the official medifast web site and was so impressed. I have been on many diets and can usually lose about 30 lbs and then, for some reason or another, I give up. Yesterday I received a call to schedule my lap-band surgery and I told them that I decided not to do that at this time. I am very serious about losing the weight now as I am willing to go thru surgery to do it. After all the reading I have done for the past days, I believe that medifast is my solution. With new-found determination and all the support on this board I know I can do it and I am looking forward to the future me.

Hello and welcome!

I think you made a very wise decision, Donna! You CAN do this! This is a much healthier option than surgery. There is a woman in my office who had lap bad surgery two weeks before I started MF. To date, she has lost four pounds more than I. Difference is, my food restriction is by choice, her is by force. I don't get sick when I eat, she does. I haven't had any post-op side effects, she has.

I hear you about losing weight and then stopping. Same here. What I have done this time (although I'm just 23 lbs into my weight loss) is to really pay attention to my own conversations that come up from time to time. I journal what's going on, and re-affirm that I am capable of creating the results I say I want.

I look forward to "seeing" you progress!

Hi Donna,

I am so glad you have made this choice. I think it is a much healthier choice in the long run and one that will give you the control.

Good luck and stay in touch. I am looking forward to hearing about your progress!

Good decision Donna. My sister had the procedure and while she has an astounding weight loss it has not come without problems. I wish you success in your determination to do it the healthy way.
