I am beinging required to start a two protien shakes and a dinner (with protien) only 9 days before surgery. After seven days of that, the last two days are liquid only. I am being banded on the 28th of this month and looking forward to it.

I have a very loving family but still feel alone in this process. It will be great to have someone to talk to that will be going through the same stages at the same time. Maria
