Oh I am so happy for you! If you can, take a few quiet minutes and don't stress out. The hardest part (in my mind insurance approval) is over! You are on your way! Take care; keep in touch..........

YAY for you!!! Don't worry you'll be fine. Believe me it was much less painful than I thought it would be. And I've been waiting for a month for "complications" to happen and nothing, everything is going smoothly.

My suggestion would be eat the foods that you love NOW, because 2 weeks before and after your surgery you will not be able to eat most of them ever again, but everyone is diffrent... There is nothing to the surgery before you know it it's over. You will be fine welcome to the Lap Band family.. LOVE IT!!!

Congratulations!

Thanks everyone!!!! So I have a 5day liquid diet before next monday... any suggestions? I know I can only have clear liquids... like the broth, jello, popsicles, etc. But what really worked for you to beat the hunger?

protein shakes are the best . They really give you a full feeling and they are only 100 calories for 8 oz. , 26 grams of protein. Good luck , it is a life changing experience , but one you will love.

Can anyone suggest a good tasting protein shake? I am having surgery this Friday.

Congratulations!!!! I can not wait to join you in your journey! My date is 10/8!
