Don't drink high calorie drinks anyway. I guess what is scaring me is that the nutritionist explained much of I what I will "never be able to do again". I will be on Vitamins because I won't be able to eat fruits and veggies because of filling up on 3-4oz of easily broken up proteins; no steak, pork chops etc. believe me I understand the portions will be MUCH smaller. But no starches too. As far as I was told it would be only the 3-4 oz of easily digestible Proteins and vitamins. I may have a table spoon of veggies if I am not too full. But he did say I may have to give that up and have an extra ounce or 2 of Protein. I know I want to do this to be healthy but this sounds anything but healthy or happy. I met with my family doctor yesterday and she was against the surgery from all points; success of surgery and weight loss, healthiness, happiness/depression. Any similar people out there with the same fear that have had the success, please chime in.

I am getting nervous too but it's not excitement. It's apprehension. I was presented with Lapband by my wife. After see convinced me to just talk to the doctor I have been on a fast track to having the surgery. Tentatively it's on 6/4. I guess I am nervous on all of the restrictions. Not the eating less but what i will never be able to do or have again. Never been that great at dieting or, more precisely, changing my lifestyle. But wondering if I should give it one more serious shot before trying surgery. Am I just try to talk myself out of it or do I have a real concern? Any help or feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
