I am 31 years old and fixin' to get the lapband on November 17th. I go in about an hour to get my labs done. I'm getting nervous and excited...wonder how these next 16 days are going to go.

Sarcaticandsmart, Congratulations on your decision to have Lap-band surgery. I was banded on October the 27. My suggestions for the next 16 days is to follow your doctors orders on the pre-diet. It gives you a nice jump start on your weight loss and prepares you for learning Portion Control. During my two weeks before surgery I was both excited and nervous. I had never had surgery before and must admit I was scared. I have a long way to go but am so excited to get started, I am tolerating liquids well and still struggle with my Protein Shakes because I am not a sweet drink person. I strongly suggest you take these next 16 days and find a Protein Drink you like because taking in your Protein is very important to your weight loss and health. I found some unflavored, no odor powder I like that I can mix in just about anything I drink and it does not change the consistency or flavor. Good luck on your journey. Wish I had made my sooner.:hi: Diane
