Hello...

I am two days away from my surgery - Have a Lap band done at NYU with Dr Kurin- looking forward to connecting with - NYU banders and NY /NJ folks.

I have been on the pre-op liquid diet for 13 days so far - and it has been ok...Have lost 12 lbs already...

I am drinking lots of Protein shakes - some are better then others- i love the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury products...

Don't love all this chemical sugar substitutes - they leave an after taste- wish there was a better alternative -

Drinling lots of Water with lemon and cuke- lots of jello- doing ok ..

I turned 50 this year and did not want to be heavy any more !!! so my journey begins...

Looking forward to making new friends...

Helene
