I understand what you're going through. However, you're setting yourself up for failure by psyching yourself out before you even start! There is power in positive thinking! I actually got rid of the scale I had an currently do not own one and have no plans of ever having one in my house! The scale is nothing but discouragement for me, so I got rid of it. Give yourself the tools for success and think positive! You have lots of people here supporting you!

This thread was really helpful to me. I haven't been banded yet, but am awaiting my surgery date! I have been trying to plan how much time I need to take off work, and it sounds like I'm just going to have to listen to my body! Thanks for the posts.

Hi All! I just got my insurance approval on Friday and haven't yet been scheduled for surgery, but I am guessing it will be sometime in september. For the nutritional protein question: my nutritionist recommended UNJURY. You can google it and come up with the website, but she gave me some samples to try and it actually wasn't so bad. It even comes in an unflavored version so I can easily add it to my crystal lite water. It has very few calories and 20 gms of protein per packet. I am crazy excited and hope to have a surgery date soon!
