HI. I just found this site yesterday and do feel like am talking to myself too.I am 34 mom of 3 small kids. I will be having my Band on the 30th. Im nervous. My Goal is to loose 100 lbs, right now it seems imposible...but after reading some blogs here i see that it can happen. I am just concerned over the drinking...i love my plain water, i am not a fan of any sugary stuff and i can nearly pass down the protein drinks. So i am not looking forward the first 2 weeks afer surgery. How did you do it? congrats on your weight loss!!!

I am also 42 BMI. I have 3 small kids and i decided to have the surgery on sept 30th. i am skeptical at times but when i think of the heath beneffits and being able to be around for my kids i am willing to do anything. my husband loves me just as i am but he wants me healthy. good luck with you decision...remember you r the one that has to make up your mind other people can have an opinion but dont let it stop you. vic
