Wonderful post. I loved it. I am being banded on Feb. 18. Two days away and I am getting scared. Victoria secrets sounds like a nice place to shop after I start losing weight. I have lost 30 in 3 weeks so I am well on my way. Just scared of the surgery. You have done well, keep up the great work. K-Jan

Hi Congrats to all of those who have been banded so far and good luck to all of you are to be banded soon. My date is Feb. 18. 3 more days. I have been on liquids since yesterday and start clear liquids till Tuesday. I am really having a problem getting the protein shakes down. It's just not happening for me. I am going to try some protein jello tomorrow and see if I can tolerate that. I will make a call to the clinic to see if there are any other alternatives to the shakes. I am glad I found this forum and hope to visit alot. I am getting scared silly though. K-Jan

HI, My surgery date is Feb. 18, this coming Wed. I have had the same thought also, but I can't stay the way I am. My doctor told me to lose 15lb in 3 weeks, well I followed a low carb diet to the tee and lost 28 in two weeks. I know about half of the was fluid, but a pound is a pound. I am on liquid days since yesterday. Tomorrow starts clear liquids. However, I cannot get the protein drinks down and keep them down. I found some protein jello and will try that tomorrow. I hope they are good and that I can tolerate them. Did anyone else have this probem? I wish everyone good luck on their surgery and journey to a new person. I know I am scared silly right now. Jan

Hi, I am new here and would like to introduce myself. I am scheduled to have my lap band surgery on Feb. 18th. Dr. Bellot is my surgeon. I have been overweight most of my life and now I have to do something about it. So here I am at the advice of my doctor who recommended this forum.
