I have an appointment tomorrow with my surgeon's office to get my post-op instruction; sign my life away and most importantly, get my prescription for pain killers.

I hope the pain killers don't run out before I have surgery. :crying:

Only 8 days and 38 more shakes until surgery. Time is flying by now. It's been 2 weeks and I still love the shakes and they are satisfying my hunger.

I was hoping I would be down triple digits before surgery but I guess I am going to have to settle for about a 95 pound loss. Boy, that sucks.

I don't remember if I mentioned in my last entry or not but I have been watching the Food Network as if it were porn. I don't want the food. I want to be cooking and making a mess. I can't bring myself to cooking for my roommate if I can't sample it though. I know if I dared take one spoonful, I immediately take many more.

Food Network and I...we got each other through the long and lonely nights of bandster hell....but now that I can eat again I'm cheating on him and flipping to other channels. I'm so sorry to hear about the 95 pound weight loss though...that's just horrible. You should have put a little effort into it and maybe you would actually have lost some real numbers!!

95 pounds ! ? is that all you will have taken off pre-band?

I would say that would be enough for me to be doing the happy dance !

I'm glad the shakes are working for you. It won't be long now.

95 pounds. I'm jealous. Tell me how you make your shakes. I have 4 more days til surgery but I'd like to know anyway. I've gotten used to the shakes. Played around with them and the ice and the blender until i got the right blend. but i am curious of others especially since you've been on it for more than two weeks. give me your secret....oh great one...haha

Thanks!

Don't be jealous until the lapband is in place and we are sure it will keep me from regaining the weight at record speed...again.

I don't over think the shakes. I open the the packet; pour it into 10 oz cold water; shake well and drink. I am also just thinking about how much fat I will burn this week and not my next shake or what I will eat after surgery.

I with you there! I was gagging on the shakes when I mixed them with cold water. when I started mixing them in the blender, they tasted better. I must admit, I love stepping on the scale and finding out how much I've lost in a day or two just by drinking the shakes. I LOVE IT!!!
