thank you so much for your replyes..i feel much better hopefully after i get my first fill things will change. good luck to you all..:thumbup:

i know exactly how you feel.. my best frinend who is also like my brother is not being very suportive. he did not beileve me when i told him i was getting the lap band. until i texted him a picture from the surgery center in the hospital bed.. he never came to visit me and now makes stupid remarks.. like soon im going to look like Brad Pitt eats junk while we hang out he is over weight and when he sees me eat or when i was on my liquid diet he would tell me what a great meal he had ect.. he is just upset because he couldnt afford it and he tells me i was stupid for payng 10k out of pocket for the surgery. i just let him be.. i know i will have the las LUGH at the end...good luck to you:thumbup:

i am on my 4th day my doc did not require a strickt liquid diet just 2 shakes per day and 2 healthy meals. but even that is hard for me. im just scared that i will blow it,, i hope not i feel lighter i will weight myself tomorrow im sure i lost a couple of lbs. my surgery is 01/27/10 i cant wait!!! looking forward to the results!!:thumbup:

i started today as well. I had a shake in the morning and a salad with some turkey breast and some low fat cottage cheese. for some reason my diet is not so strict thank god..i am allowd to have 2 healthy meals and 2 shakes per day and fruits snd veggies exept bananas. sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jell-o. but even like that i have a massive headache already and im starving!! but like all of you i look into the future and i know the rewards will come when i can play raquet ball and play soccer with my friends and not be just sitting there watching!!:mad: WE CAN DO IT GUYS!!!! LETS HAVE FAITH!!!! and lets support each other. thanks for all the tips and advice from the people who have already had the surgery and are on track we appreciate it..Tino
