Waow you look great! Keep up the good work!

Thats too bad.. well you know what they say, "muscle weighs more than fat"... I know exactly what you mean though, so thats why we are all getting the lap band. I'm pretty bad thogh, I weigh myself daily, even though I am told not do that... hate this weight game. No worries Mrs. Smith, we will do great!!! take care and keep up the good work!!

Well I gotta say, I'm not depriving myself of food, I have a lot of that coming ahead. I'm just sticking to protein and veggies... so hopefully I'll see that scale drop tomorrow. Wish me luck. Montynic, I am soooo glad to hear you are doing better, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. And pockets, same with you, the light is there... so only about 10 days to go for you . How long do go on liquids after surgery? I have 3 weeks....aghhh im not lookng forward to that!

Keep up the good work everyone!! smile, we'll be skinny soon!

Hi there... I see you joined the group in Seattle, When are you getting banded?

Hi Pocketsfullof sunshine (boy you chose a long name...lol) How's pre-op diet treating you? any weight loss? how about hunger issues?

I have been doing the high protein low carb, I was doing great until this weekend, when I gained back 2lbs. I wanst even that bad... I hate how easily I can gain weight!

Well keep me posted, take care.

How are you feeling ? is the post op pain gone? Hope all is well and hunger is under control

How is it going? have you had your surgery yet? I'm sure you told me your date, but I just cannot keep up these days...hehe. Well keep me posted on how you're doing take care

Good luck! How are the rest of my friends doing?? I lost 4 lbs from Wed to Saturday and then by Monday morning had gained 2lbs back... and I wasnt even bad this weekend... super discouraging!

Hi Faviola, my surgery is on 4/20 how about you??

How much do you work out?

Good luck on your journey... I will get banded on 4/20/10. let me know if you need any support, I am looking for some friends that are going throught the same thing:)

Well, lost 1.6lbs. on day 1...

Good tip, thank you

Yes, I think I did get lucky. When is your surgery?

Well try those protein shakes I mentioned, they are super yummy7, I never thought I would say that!! hehe Good luck!

OMG!! I have to tell you, I purchased little packets of Nectar protein shake from my doctors office to test out different flavors, I just had the vanilla....AMAZING... it's sooo good!!! you can get this brand online too Syntrax Nectar, and they have tons of flavors. I made mine with skim milk AWESOME!! well this will work good for the post op... gotta get back to work now.. take care, the count down is ON!

Well, So I started doing the liquid on my own, and come to find out my doctor just wants me on a high protein low carb diet for the next two weeks ... THANK GOD!! he said the liquid phase would come 3 weeks post op... so not that I have starved all day.... i get to have some din din...

I have been looking for the Carnation Breakfast at my grocery store, they dont seem to carry it, so I have to try other places, I keep reading about it, and I have tried it in the past, I think it iwll work out ok.

Thanks for checking in... gotta run, gotta get home now.
