2 weeks until surgery! Getting excited (and nervous) and really thinking about all of the changes that lie ahead in this new year. Ready to transform my body and mind and to ultimately become a better version of myself. I know that it is going to be a lot of hard work, but I feel like with the band as a tool, I will finally succeed at keeping the weight off this time! Happy New Year/ Happy New YOU!!

Thanks for the feedback guys! What Cheryl pointed out makes a lot of sense and I will look at the ingredients a bit closer as well. I am lucky that I already started cutting down on my coffee habit a few months ago and I quit soda like 4 years back, so I don't think it is caffiene. 1 day down!!!!

Happy New Year Everyone! I woke up refreshed and ready to start the year off on the right foot. My surgery is January 16th and although my pre-op diet doesn't officially start until the 13th; I have decided that food is my heroin and I need a bit longer to ween myself of it! LOL. So far I have had 2 protein shakes, 1 for breakfast and 1 for lunch and I always drink a lot of water as well. I wanted to try out the liquid aspect of things, I feel okay; but I kind of have a headache. Has anyone else experienced a headache doing this?

It inspired me to see your list. Thank you for sharing.

My surgery is January 16th. I am 33, and I live in Colorado. I have 4 kids and have always struggled with weight issues. I am nervous and excited and would love to network, support and build friendships with other people who are making a huge lifestyle change. I know its going to be one of the biggest challenges I have ever faced. How are you guys feeling about it?

My date is Jan 16. I would like to connect with anyone who might want have someone to go thru this with, or compare experiences with. I am a bit nervous and excited as well, so I joined this forum hoping to gain more perspective!!!
