It was a breeze. I filled out a questionare, then we pretty much just talked about my life and why I wanted Lap Band. In mine I got the idea they wanted to be sure you were not an alcoholic/drug abuser or suicidal, and that you wereready to commit. Don't worry about it, you will do fine.

My surgery is Monday. I am on day 13 of 14, my pre-op diet has been 3 protein shakes a day THAT'S IT. I am hungry a little between, but not giving myself any options. I want to be able to say I did it. I have read a lot on this site about other peoples pre-op diets and they sound all different to me. JUST STICK WITH IT- YOU CAN DO IT!

Congrats! 10/10 will be here before you know it. I go in Monday for my band. As soon as I found out my insurance accedpted me, I started eating like I would never be able to eat again. I gained 10 pounds in three weeks. On my program I have a protien shake diet two weeks before and two weeks after. I started cutting down a week before I started my shakes and lost 5 pounds and now have lost another 10 on the shakes. Now, looking back I wish I had just started loosing right from the start. I have not had any problem with the 3 shakes a day. A little hungry but not bad. So in answer to your questions YES, it is my opinion it will make it easier for you if you do start right away. GOOD LUCK:smile2:

Hi My surgery is Sept 8. I feel for you. I am on day 6 of 14- drinking 3 protein shakes a day. I too miss drinking and eating. With me it's a mind over matter thing. I just don't give myself any other options. This is what I signed up for and I am hell bent to do it. I call my Crystal light tea with lemon a cocktail. I know if I can do this so can you. Oh and good work with the walking.

Thank you. I have a question for you. How do you get the ticker to show up, I have looked and looked and can't find a place to enter it.

I am on three shakes a day. THAT'S IT. I like the sound of your's, at least you are eating something as well. How are you doing with it?

Good for you. That is such exciting news. A big milestone. Keep up the good work.

I enjoyed reading about your experience. My surgery is Sept 8. I really had no idea what I might feel like after. Thanks for sharing and good luck!
