Edan Ren?

So I thought it would be fun to start a topic on the things we will NOT miss after our surgeries! I think we should write one or two, or three things we hate about being "big" "fluffy" etc... I'll start... i won't miss people call me "big guy" i wont miss children staring at me and saying "Daddy he's fat" i wont miss shopping at Casual Male XL and spending $65 on a shirt!!!! How about you...what will you not miss!

I live in Utah anyone willing to mentor me and be my "someone to lean on".

Man my grammar is horrible. Meant to say I have lbt!

Well I was all set on the LapBand and then I met with my nutrionist who started to sway me towards the gastric, because I will lose more, and lose it faster. So I met with the other surgeon and I told them I wanted to ponder my decision and so I went to work and talked to three people who had had gastric bypass (2) and one person who had the lapband. One of the two people who had the gastric looked sickly and emactiated and the other one was ok. However, she told me she did not "mean to" lose all that weight but she did, the bottom line is that you can't control the weight loss. How much or how fast, and with lap band you can control both so I decided to go that way. I have 200 lbs to lose and that seems to be a challenge on the lapband, but I know it's possible, So that's why I chose to have it...August 16th is my surgery date.

I feel so tired now. Four days into my self imposed diet of one protein shakes and two smaller meals a day. I guess that caffeine had been driving more than I thought. I don't drink soda, coffee or tea. Any suggestions?

I'm having my surgery inherent 16th of August. Finally ....I'm so happy and nervous. I am on my 3rd day of a self imposed diet and this weekend has been tough going.
