Thanks June and leeshabeesh for your support I will need it!

I am excited but nervous at the same time. In fact I keep thinking what it's going to be like to eat small portions and not be hungry. I get my band on Feb 1st.

I too am on the low calorie, shake, protein diet. I started 4 days ago and it does get easier. I even thought maybe I should just go on a shake diet since they really fill you up. I lost 3 lbs already due to the excess water retention. I am so fearful of having food stuck and throwing up all these horror stories that I read on this blog. It makes me wonder if I am doing the right thing. Anyone have any comforting words of wisdom before I shrink my stomach?

I am getting banded on Feb 1 and really would love to have some mentors. I am really nervous about it. I am on my shake diet right now. Love to hear from anyone. Let's unite Feb bansters!!!

Hello, I am new to this sight as well. I haven't decided when to do my lap band surgery (thinking of Oct). I wanted to know how long the recovery time is after your surgery because of being a teacher. Do you need a lot of bed rest afterwards like 3-4 days and then are you able to go back to work? i am 267 lbs. I want to go to 160lbs. I have been approved for lap band through my insurance. I am looking forward to it so tired of being heavy for the last 12 years. Any suggestions you could give to me?
