I agree with Karen & Mis. Also some people have problems with eggs.

Have a day at the spa and celebrate your new ONEderland!

Not vain at all. It makes you feel good and that is important. I have to agree with tmf, there is no way you will be able to attend class the night of the procedure. You will be so out of it.... Please reconsider that.

Carolinagirl nailed it. The only thing I would add is fill your scripts from your doctor and get some GasX just incase you need it, oh and a good book to read.

I try to stay under 1200 cal, but more inportant is getting at least 60g of protein. I also have a treat day once in a while & that usually ends up at 1500 cal. Fine what works for you & your body.

Great post! Don't beat yourself up, tomorrow is a new day!

Congratulations! Welcome to onederland!

Congratulations. Thanks for sharing your inspiring story.

Water just came out of my nose.... Don't drink & read Lapbandtalk... Rule #22.

I have coffee with skin milk every morning. You don't want to talk to me before my coffee......

That is awesome, congrats!

Banded Feb 7, 2012 lost 60 lbs.

That is awesome!! Way to go.

That sounds tasty! I'm going to have to try that!!

I self paid and had the surgery a month after my initial doctor visit. I think it depends on the doctor and what pre op tests are required.

It feels sooooo good when people comment about your weight loss. I love hearing that. Just this weekend my husbands best friend said that I looked great and that I must have lost a lot of weight. Boy did that feel good.

I love hearing stories like that.

We all want to wake up skinny, take that magic pill..... But what fun would that be? We would miss out on all those NSVs that we love so much. Enjoy the ride, it's going to be hard with lots of ups and downs. When you do get to your goal weight you'll look back thinking boy that went fast.... Your husband gave you a wonderful compliment, believe it IT'S TRUE! You are working hard at this and people will notice. 21 lbs is a lot of weight. Be proud of yourself.

I love hummus! Greek yogurt, laughing cow cheeses, cottage cheese, just a few of my soft foods. I also like tuna mixed with yogurt or a laughing cow cheese. When you are on liquids sugar free popsicles are great. I also froze Protein shakes in popsicle trays and sucked on them (1 shake makes 6 popsicles). As for food ideas after on solids, I use myfitnesspal, if you use it add me as a friend (ajtexas0) and you can see my food log. Good luck.
