Hello Everyone, My name is NIkki and I am having my lap band surgery on the 13th of April.  I have been overweight all my life.  And I am so READY for a change.   I am having the lap band for I can be a healthier person, not to be skinny.  I am border line diabetic and i have high blood pressure.  I explained to my Dr. that I don't want to be a size 10.  I am currently a 22/24.  He said that it up to me how much I loose and how much I keep off.  I am looking forward to getting in a size 18 or 16.  I am going through my pre op stage now.  Hate it!  I am on protein shakes for 2 weeks. :(  It's clunky and nasty.  This is my first day on, so I have 13 more days to go.  Does anyone have any alternatives that I can have besides shakes.  Tonight I am having a boil egg.  I know that it is high in protein, so i hope it don't hurt.
