Congrats!! I am at 230 and can not wait to hit the 199!! Good Luck!

I had the surgery on the 25th i feel great but am hungry to i just hope when i go to the dr he moves me to the next stage of food like eggs and mushies i just can not eat any more jello or drink any more protien shakes but i have lost 14 pounds so that is a good thing i guess =0)

I have been using the Whey protien from GNC as long as it is under 7 grams of sugar is should be ok

I only have to do a 2 day liquid diet so I am going to enjoy my last weekend and prepare for my nice liquids monday and tuesday!! I just can not wait to have it over i am getting a little nervous but know the outcome will be a new and healthy me!!

GOOD Luck i am having mine done on the 30th to!! Hope it all works out!! :thumbup:

Hey there I am pretty new to the site as well, I am also in the begining stages but I have made up my mind to go with the lap band surgery i just think that the results will be much better in the future for me, and from what I have seen with people who have had bypass, they have sucess but recovery is longer and the problems they have in the future with excess skin exc seems worse. I am going on friday for my Upper GI and then I will meet with my Dr to schedule my surgery!! I think that being young the lap band is defintly the way to go!!
