I have until feb 8th. I can't keep doing this.

Yeah I don't want to be this way. I don't want to gain weight before the surgery

Hey there I am finding now that I have the surgery booked all I want to do is eat. Is anyone else like this?

I'm going to stick to the protein drinks and I drink water all the time anyways

I think the liquid portion of the diet will be the easiest for me. It will be getting all my protein in.

Does that basically mean you cheated during the two weeks? I'm scared to death of the whole process but excited at the same time ago. About seven years ago I was up to 336 pounds and now 255 and it hasn't changed. The band is my last resort.

It seems like people lose a lot before and not so much after. Is this correct

Hi There I'm just curious how much weight you lost pre-operation on the liquid diet. Thanks Jen

I am totally brand new with this so I haven't gone into the office yet. I figure the first few weeks I could have more protein shakes. That's my goal anyways

Hey Everyone I'm very confused about protein. You are supposed to get 65 mg a day but the sample menus don't show 65 mg. what am I missing? Thanks Jen

Thanks for all the replies. It looks like everyone has great success. Some not so much but I hope to have great success too

That is great to hear. It is so scary

I believe the bad will help give me that full feeling I ignore. This is really my hope. I'm not a big junk food person. I am Protein and salad I just need to eat way too much

Hey There I keep being told I have a choice from the non believers. I have 75 pounds to lose that hasn't come off. Something must change. I was also told that I need a bmi of 40. I'm at 38 which is severely obese. Things need to change.

Wow that is wonderful to hear. Do you feel satisfied when you eat? I think probably the hardest is pre and post op care

Hi there I have my appointment. I am extremely scared of failing. How long have you had the band? Is it the best thing you have ever done? Thanks for the input. Jen

Did you do the lap band before or lost the weight on your own?

Thank you. It is very scary

Thank you so much ajtexas. I used to work out but may need surgery on my knee. Thanks for the help. Jen

I look at this as a tool. I'm gluten intolerant so when I find something to actually eat I eat a lot of it. I'm hoping I won't have that wish to eat very much food. It is so much money. That is another reason I don't want to fail and worry about it. I can't work out. I may need knee surgery so that is a concern.

And it does get annoying after a while repeating the same story and how the band works after a while Hi Katie. I know exactly what would happen

Actually very few people will know about the surgery. It is non of their business how much it costs and that would be a bug topic of conversation

That is really great to hear. I have been going back and forth for a year. Thank you
