flipbarnett 0 Posted January 1, 2008 THanks Kim. I am hoping to attend the meetings in the Boro after surgery. It's a lot closer for me. I didn't know until my pcp referred me to Dr. Spaw that the Boro did lapband. That's great. You have made great progress. I set my first goal to loose 30 lbs by March. I've lost 5 on the preop. I am struggling with the preop diet. Last night we played Rook with friends till after midnight. We had beef stew and I had mostly broth with a few carrots and celery. But what got me was the snack tray. It had pickles, cheese and Ritz crackers on it. I did good threw the day with only Protein Shakes. I start liquid only tommorow. I just made up my Protein shakes for the day. It may get better after school starts back Thursday. Happy New Year! Felicia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
