smile.png I am happy my LapBand surgery date seems like it's almost here though it is a couple of months away. I went to my consultation on Feb.19th 2012 I believe, but one thing for sure is my surgery date of May 30th 2012. I went to my first nutrition class yesterday 2/23/12 and thought the session was great. Like everything in life this process has obsticles. My problem is JUICE ... whew i said it. I love juice but now I will be drinking only 2 cups a day that are the size of my fist to slowly ween muself. I will be drinking crystal light. I'm fine with whey shakes due to drinking them already. I lay here in my bed thinking about my life before and how i think its gonna be after. I must say, I am excited and not nervous at all. I don't wanna be know as the fat one out of my sisters lol. Anyways I have a psych consult monday and my endoscopy thursday. I hope the process of getting to the surgery day is a smooth transition. My surgeon is great and very informative. This juice thing is complicated but for my health I am ready and willing to kick the habit. I feel like i'm on the journey to a wonderful life change.

I am also in your shoes. My surgery (will be july) as I have a 6 month waiting period (which I dont understand) but anyhow..Stay positive and you can do this. Loved your first post.

That's great! I like that you are weaning yourself from something you feel is going to be an obstacle for you. I'm betting we've all had to do that. Best wishes to you and may God bless you.

My obstacle was soda and I too gave it up prior to surgery. I don't miss it at all now and I'm glad I kicked that habit prior to the procedure. It was one less thing to worry about! Good luck to you on your journey.

My biggest hurdle was sweets!! I love juice but I started drinking more water with Crystal Light. Now I dont even add the Crystal Light! Best of luck to you on your journey!

Hi! You're way ahead of the curve than I was. Hard-headed is an under statement. After over 7 years I'm getting back to the basics. I have a delicious shake for breakfast & lunch or dinner. I prefer a large lunch so it has plenty of time to digest. Shakes at dinner eliminate acid-reflux & makes me sleep soundly. No more ambits : ). The shakes I take taste just like cakes/dessert. So many recipes so you will never get bored. They are high in nutrients/vitamins , very high in protein & low in sugar. Sooo dang delicious. Send me a message fir a sample or more information or visit bridgetbrooks.bodybyvi.com. You will be inspired & don't be surprised if your significant other & kids start dipping into your shake mix. Congratulations on this exciting journey. Being banded is the gift & gave me hope for an active, fun & sexy future : )
