Thanks for all the input I've learned alot.

How are you feeling? Tell me everything. I'm super nervous & have 2nd thoughts all the time. I've heard alot about injury chicken broth too.

Im 3 months out & everytime I see the dietician she freaks me out. She told me I'll be on protein shakes after surgery & I should try a few...unmm they are expensive! Don't think I want to buy multiple types, anyone have a good one? Not too yucky or gritty tasting. Mix with water preferred. It also seems like I won't be able to eat anything. Seems like everything can get stuck. Although I would love to lose 80 pds I'm getting scared that I'll basically be starving myself. Thoughts?

Hi Angel, I'm starting the journey as well. Had my 1st consult & have to do dietician for 6 months. I was a lil freaked out today but got alot of support from the folks on the site. I'm gonna keep moving forward. I'm nervous. I need to lose 70 pds. Still need insurance approval. I've researched for a year. I think I'm ready. Good luck!

Thank you guys so much. I feel so much better. I have 6months so excited to follow folks on the site. So glad I found this site & asked my silly questions. I'm sure I'll have many more. Still have alot to do for insurance coverage. Not as freaked out as earlier.

X I can't figure out how to get to your pics. Still learning the site...

As my 13yr old daughter would say OMG;). I feel so much better. Thanks you guys I love the honest info I really need it. I have to see a dietician for 6 months do I'm just starting. She really freaked me out & gave me a list of like 10 item. And kept talking about slimming:(. I know she's just doing her job but I was like Whoa...so glad to hear what ppl really eat. Work stuff is going to be hard, it's alll bread. So glad I won't really b eating boiled eggs. Thank you Jesus;). Good Luck V...I wanna hear all about it when you up to it!

Thanks Kelly. Yea I'm beginning to see the experience can range a great deal. The dietician really really freaked me out. I certainly don't want to spend my entire day thinking about throwing up vs now thinking about weight. Trading 1 obsession for another. Ugh...I really need to keep praying about it cause I'm just unsure. So many variables. So glad it worked for you. That's awesome. Thanks for the honestly I really appreciate it! Tina

I'm so glad I found a group of real ppl to talk to. I have been thinking about lapband for a couple of years. My gut instincts tells me it's the best thing for me BUT I'm scared to death. Went to my 1st appt & now I'm very nervous. I don't want to eat boiled eggs & string cheese for the rest if my life & I'm scared to death I'm gonna throw up at a corp. dinner with exes. Can someone who has had the band for awhile please tell me the truth about eating with the band. I know it sounds silly but I have tons of exec dinners for my job & it's a big part of how I provide for my family. I've heard a variety if things & not sure what to believe. Thank you;)
