I am getting more excited as my surgery date gets closer! I will have it on April 30th. I am on my liquid diet now. I have only lost 5 pounds so far. I see a lot of people losing so much more. I hope I am doing OK. I haven't cheated and I am drinking my 2 protein drinks and having my soup. I am also eating sugar free jello and If I get to hungry I have a yogurt. I think I need to drink more water. I don't like plain water so I always add stuff to it lol. Good luck everyone that's having surgery!!

Good Luck! You will do great!

When is your surgery date? I have done a lot of research too, and I know this is what I need for my weight loss. I am on my pre op diet now, and today wasn't real bad I don't guess, but I am sure I didn't consume enough liquids. i will have to do better tomorrow.

I started mine today too. Good luck with getting the 5 pounds off. I am sure you will lose more than that!

Good luck!!

I am going to use the ones from Wal- Mart. they are called "Eat Good Look Great PURE PROTEIN Shake" They are 23 grams of protein. I don't know any other kind I can use. Do you know of any that I might can use? I can't use Boost, Ensure, Slim Fast or any other Body Builder type Supplements or anything with Creatine in it..... It has to have under 200 calories, and 20+ protein in it, and less than 10 grams of Carbs. I am going to shop around and see if their are any that are higher in protein than the ones I have. Because I have to get at least 64 grams of protein a day.

I wish you all the best! I am so excited for you!

The complications is what worries me the most. I have people in my life who keep telling me about people they know who have had trouble. But I think a lot of them tried to use the bad wrong, and where over filled and that's what caused their problems. I don't know. I have watched a lot of people on YouTube who have success with their Lap Bands. I just pray I am a success too! My husband is also worried, and that makes me worry more! LOL I start my liquid diet tomorrow! I am not turning back! I have my eyes on the future! I am so excited, I just have to calm my nerves.....

Have you started your pre op diet? if so how is it going? Can you tell I am a little worried about mine/! LOL! Good luck on this journey!

We have the same surgery date! That's awesome! Good luck on your Pre Op diet!

I am on YouTube too. )

I am glad that I am not alone in this. I didn't know so many people second guessed themselves like I am. It makes me feel like I am going to be OK. Thanks for all the support everyone! I will be trying to keep up with your journeys too!!

That is a GREAT gift!

Thank you! The closer it gets the more I worry! Lol. I guess that's normal! I have so many emotions all at the same time! It's crazy! Lol

I am new here and I just wanted to introduce myself. my name is Katie. I am 45 years old and I will be getting the Lap Band on April 30th! I am so excited and nervous! I start my pre op diet on Monday. So tomorrow is my last day for a LONG time to eat real food! LOL! My son will be coming in from out of town to visit on Monday, so this is going to be a challenge to say the least. But, I know I will be OK. I want this to bad to fail at it! I want this soooooo bad!! Are there any others out there getting banded on the 30th?

I will be getting the Lap Band on the 30th of this month. I start my liquid diet on Monday. I am so nervous. I don't know what to think anymore. I keep hearing bad stories of people that have had REAL bad complications from their band. I want it soooooooo bad! I just keep saying they must have done something wrong. They must be responsible for the bad things that have happened to them. I KNOW you have to follow the rules!Or bad things can happen. I just don't know if deep down I believe it all..... It's real scary at times. then at other times I am SO SURE this is right for me! Do you ever second guess yourself, and your decision to get the Lap Band? Is this normal?

I think I am just going to stick with the lap band. But thanks so much for the info!

I have been telling my husband i wish I would have said yes to it now lol! Way to go on the weight loss!! That's awesome!

No, I was to afraid to get it. Did you get it?

I am from Texas too, and I am going through Dr. Adam Smith too! My surgery date is the 30th of this month!
