Where in Colorado? Who is doing your surgery?

Thanks. I cannot wait to be able to wear current style clothes and hopefully look good in them. I have told myself all along that I am taking this process one day at a time, one meal at a time etc. I am nervous but ready. Have you scheduled your surgery yet?

Thanks for your comments. You gave me some ideas and things to think about that I hadn't even thought about. I guess I had worried a little bit about the cooking issue for the family but I put it in the back of my mind. Figured I would cross that bridge when I got there, but now I am thinking that I should start moving somethings in that direction where my family helps me more in the kitchen BEFORE surgery. That way there is not such a drastic change since there is already going to be a lot of changes. Thank you again.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but I have been going to lots of classes and the one thing that all of them have said, your band is a tool and you are going to have good days and bad. Don't give up on yourself. I was told that protein shakes are ok, that adding protein powder to things also help with the hunger. I was also told that once I am eating solids I can back off of the protein drinks and eat protein bars. Give yourself a break, you are making a difference in your life now, take it one day at a time and don't forget to drink your water!!!!!

Good luck
