Seminar/doctors Appt

Well I went to the free seminar regarding all the different surgeries that are out there. I know that I am not the person to have a bypass surgery.....that one scares me and is just not for me. I have decided that I want to have the lap band surgery done. The seminar was a huge help in making me understand better and not be so scared about having the procedure done. I have my doctors appt set up for April 6th and I have to go in and have some test run before hand. I was really happy regarding the dietician that I will have to go see. I think that will be a big help. If anyone has any suggestions regarding questions I should have for the doctor, please let me know and things to ask or pay attention to when it comes to the dietician. I am ready to get started with the new journey. I have started walking in the evenings with my husband. Not very far but I figure something is better than nothing. My husband is really excited about me doing this. I just hope that he will be a help with the life change I am fixing to start. He went to the seminar with me and asked questions. He has been my best friend for over 25 years and I have always told him that I need help with this weight issue I have. We will see.....

 

I do have a question....what should I be prepared for regarding the liquid diet I will have to be on in the beginning?

Best of luck to you in your journey with this!! Liquid diet is hard and there are lots of times i wish i could just eat something. Just remember when you get hungry just drink the shakes and its all worth it but you have to listen to what the doctor has to say! Again good luck!
