Slept lake a rock last night. Just wanted to say 'thanks' for all the kind words. Getting all my t's crossed and i's dotted before I head off to the hospital. Packing my overnight goodie bag trying not to forget anything.

Thanks. Hope I don't need luck.

Cytosport vanilla powder is good. UNJURY has the best taste.

Counting down the hours. Tomorrow at 1PM. Starting to get the willies. Will be glad to vet this behind me.

I've been using Cytosport whey protein vanilla and chocolate, available at Costco. 27g protein but it isn't the best tasting. Package recommends mixing with water which is what I'm doing. Tastes better with skim milk. Nutritionist gave me samples of UNJURY in chocolate, vanilla and peanut butter cookie. Tastes great, especially the peanut butter cookie, but not usually in stores. Order direct from UNJURY. Good luck.

Pieces of cake got me into this mess. LOL. Best wishes. Glad you are doing well.

I'm the 11th. Almost there. Nervous but can't wait to put this behind me.

I am starting week 3 of the diet. Honestly, it hasn't been easy. I have cravings for things that I didn't used to eat much of, like peanut butter and I am dying for a piece of toast. When the cravings hit, I try to wash them away with Crystal Light lemonade. Try to stay strong.

Just getting familiar with this forum. Someone responded before about some book. They appeared to be trying to convince me that Lapband was bad. The post is gone. Was it removed by an administrator?

No, I haven't read the book. I am going to a reputable surgeon with a highly respected weight loss clinic. I chose Lapband after consultations with the Bariatric surgeon as well as my Gastroenterologist. Neither recommends RNY or vertical sleeve because of other issues I have. I understand that there could be serious consequenses but in my case, the benefits outweigh the risks. Thanks.

Just joined last week. Surgery is Dec. 11 One week to go and a little spooked. Pre-op diet has been a bit of a struggle as I have had the worst craving for peanut butter.
