Ready, Set, Go!!!! Almost on my way, but why so negative?

Hello everyone, wanted to post that I am going to be starting my 2 week diet on the 1st and I am super excited. I went to some local stores to look at shakes. My Md office recomended shakes that have over 20protein and I am to take 2 a day. What shakes were the best that you all used? Anyway my set date is the 14th of Feb and I can't wait. I will be joining ZUMBA classes next week so I am sure that will help lose some weight. I am a little upset at all the negative people that tell me it cant be done or that I have too much weight too lose and this will not work. I don't want to hear that but some people in my life keep telling me this and trying to persuade me not to get the surgery. I believe this is my choice and they should accept it. Sorry I am a little upset. Well wish me luck in my 2 week diet. Oh, by they way I lost 4 pds and don't even know how or from where lol... Best of luck to those also getting the band in Feb.
