Hey every1, my name is Fabiola aka Ms.Fab, 21 years old and Im new. I find myself lonley at times because people dont understand what Im going through. So I decided to make an account on here because everybody seems to give good adive to one another. Im on my pre-op diet and will get the surgury done next friday (8 days from 2day) and im excited but also frustrated at the same time! Its annoying having to drink that nasty Protein supplement. And I hate watching other people eat good food while I have to basically starve lol...Im doing whatever it takes to be successful but I feel lonley. Nobody understands what Im going through and Im hoping that I find alot of people on here that I can talk to. My friend got the lap band done last year and she lost alot of weight so far. But I hardly talk to her cause she's busy most of the time. I hope I can meet new people on here so we can share our stories and provide motivation for one another!

I am glad you are here. You will find lots of support and advice here.

Hang in there on the Protein shakes. I am on my preop diet also, my surgery is Monday. It helps to mix it with nonfat skim instead of Water, and with berries, Peanut Butter etc... to make the taste a lttle better from time to time. But remember...it is only temporary, you won't have to be on liquids forever. And the end result is a new you (weight wise anyway).

Keep us posted on your surgery and progress and come back to vent when necessary too.

Welcome! I hear you on Protein shakes -- they are just so gross!!

This board is a really great spot for getting support, venting or just learning more about what being banded is like. Congratulations on only being 8 days from band day! :thumbup:

Best,

Catherine
