Second thoughts...
I to questioned myself , i am a week today that i got banded and I know i did the right thing. It was a very emotional decision for me i used the excuse i am older i will miss my dates with my daughter going out to eat, i can do weight watchers again. I want to live longer be healthier and feel better about myself. So following my head i went for it and although its a new start and i am just begining i am glad i did it you will be to. Best of luck

the day before
Well liquid diet has started today before my surgery . I am nevous,been sucking down broth and water like crazy savoring my green jello for dinner :frown: I did not have to go liquid diet before my surgery is that normal? or is it because the i lost the required weight and then some before surgery? Well guess it doesnt matter cause the surgery is tomorrow.Does anyone know how the whey protien drink is>? that is what they recomended but do i mix it with water or the 1 percent milk?
