Amy Hi I also have MS and have been waiting to get banded for years. The fact that they lowered the BMI was great . I kept eating until I gained enough to be considered which in itself is ridiculous but you do what you have to do. Hoping for an Aug. surgery date, it would be a great birthday present. Start the process because it takes awhile and is worth a shot !!

I seem to hear of more people with the problem of finding decent tasting mixes then actually getting good tasting drinks. I am sure there must be a few around that you can buy in small containers to try rather than those gigantic barrels they seem to come in. If I could find one that tasted great mixing it with fruit or coffee or some kind of flavoring I would be ecstatic. The $ being wasted now is ridiculous but I'm trying to get a head start so when I have to drink it I am prepared and not getting sick and starving at the same time. Maybe I will give the EAS a try, Thanks

I was wondering what all the different pre op diets are, for how long you need to be on them and do all doctors use them? I heard about the protein drinks and from different ones I've spoken to, it doesn't seem easy to find one that tastes decent ! UGGH

I totally get it ! I don't even have my surgery date but have been eating anything and everything in sight before I have to start the pre-op diet. I'm making a list of restaurants and foods that I need/have to get in before it's too late. When I had my psych evaluation he kind of looked at me when I mentioned having my last meal. Thought I blew it at that point but luckily I didn't. He just doesn't get it like most THIN people.

You are so lucky ! I can't wait to get started on my new journey. Good luck and I hope you feel better. By the way how do you get the 2 icons under newbie and stars?

Wow Congratulations on the 18 lbs! I still haven't got a date yet, but it couldn't be to soon enough. How are you dealing with the cravings?

Hi I'm new here too ! I considered doing the band several years ago but never followed thru. Decided a few months ago to try again and am hoping to follow it all the way this time. I just feel so much better inside and out when I am losing weight. And since I won't be able to have my 2 - 3 day a week binges anymore in between, I'm hoping this will work for me. I'm out of options. Maybe we can get through this together.
