Dr. Ninh T. Nguyen did my lapband surgery in January 2-11. I really am pleased with the surgery and the care I receive from him and his office staff. Connie

I still like Lindora's protein bars best. My favorite is the Chocolate Mint. Tastes like a thin mint cookie from the Girl Scouts. I also like the Peanut butter bars. You can get them at Lindora and some insurances give you a discount. They alson now sell them at Rite Aide stores. It's a great snack when you're "on the go".

I am 5'3, i currently weight 184, -Weight 207 -Height 5'3" -BMI 37 - Any Co's High Cholesterol, Pre-diabetes -Name of Insurance Anthem Blue Cross

I will reward myself with some new clothes!!!

Well Said Victoria!

I have used Muscle Milk Light and Premier Protein shakes from costco or Sams Club. Both taste pretty good. I also like some of Lindora's Protein liquids (i.e. wildberry juice, broth, etc.)

I'm feeling better each day. Just have pain when I get up or down. Nothing really bad. I taped plastic over my incisions yesterday and had a quick shower. Boy did that feel good! Try not to worry, you'll be fine. I know its hard not to wonder if you're doing the right thing, but remember, its going to make you healthy and trim!!! Can we say,,,"New swimsuit this summer!"

I'm in the OC,,,Fullerton. Having my surgery tomorrow am.

Hi, I'm Connie. I'm in So. Cal too and getting banded on Wednesday, the 12th. Just 1-1/2 more days. On the liquid pre-op diet and tired of it. Tomorrow all clear liquid and the flush, ugh! I'm dreading that most. I'm excited and getting nervous too.

I'm getting banded on 1-12-11. One more day of liquid pre-op diet and then clear liquids only. It's sounds like you may not be getting enough Protein if you're starving. My shakes are 27-30 gms of protein each. That keeps you from feeling hungry. I'm not sure the carnation shake has nearly the amount of protein. Did your Dr. give you any other options? Connie

Not the 17th but the 12th!,,,Three more days!

yes, I am excited. I know I will be nervous in the next few days. I saw your video. So cool! I am doing a 10 day liquid diet. Are you doing the same? Meal Replacement shakes and Soup. Yuck! Read the binder, bookmarked some wls recipe sites and made my list of things to take to the hospital. I have to stay over 1 night at UCI so I need to pack a bag. Nice to chat with you. Let's keep in touch as our procedures are just a couple days apart.

Hi, I'm in Orange County, CA. I'm getting banded on the 12th and going back to work after the holiday on the 18th. I'm in education also.

Congrats! How are you doing so far?
