Tonite..I had some rice..I figure I went this long with the diet I thoought I could have some rice..But since I ate that now my tummy hurts(shame on me) But I got my Protein drinks(powder) at GNC..Its really good I can mix it with either skim milk or Water, The water seems to help better with my hunger. I have lost 11pounds being on that diet..And, I can only imagine after tomorrow since its only liquids for another 2 weeks I may lose 10 more wooohoooo me..I never said but my weight was 204...I am down to 198 now...I am glad about that...But we are gonna be looking good..YEAHHHH I cant wait...Hoope everything goes well tomorrow for you..I am gonna be on lapband awhile tonite It helps me calm down talkin to other banders...

That is great..We can recover and share our experinces togerther...I am nervous as ever..I was on here last nite til 3am reading the lapband stories about before and after surgery. It made me feel at ease somewhat..I just hope they give me some good meds... :thumbup:

Hey Greg

I bought some whey Protein powder from GNC. Its pretty good..I used it for my liquid diet and I know we are gonna need it afterwards as well..Where are you gettin your surgery done?

Am from Mcdonough Georgia..Got my approval for lapband Feb 09-09..Started my post opt diet Feb 13th-09..That is the worst part the diet...Geesh went from eating regular food to just liquid now..I dont like it so much cause it makes me feel full(which I know is gonna happen, all that liquid)but its a hard thing to go through, but I know in the long run it will be well worth it..But my surgery is set for Feb 26th-09..I cant wait..I am happy and nervous at the same time..I will keep ya posted...
