What if I get this surgery and nothing changes? I am using our savings to get this done and we are sacrificing financially for it. I just read a post on the main board about a lady that has had the lap band for about a year and has only lost 15 pounds. That is my true fear....what if that turns out to be me. I was originally interested in the Gastric Sleeve...but due to the cost I have decided on the Lap band...but now I am wondering if I have made the right decision. Anyone else with these issues?

It's been an emotional day for me. Not sure why really. Lots of little bumps and I didn't turn to food. Did my am Protein Shake, late afternoon salad,and my evening Protein.

Day One is done!

Yay for you!

What is y'alls pre-op diets? Mine was just high protein/low carb. I could still eat how much I wanted. Just couldnt eat what I REALLY wanted.. I'm a carbivore!! It was tough.. especially when I would go out to eat and realize I couldn't eat 75% of the menu! ahh. But it paid off and I wouldn't change a thing! I wish you all the best!!

I'm required to limit my calorie intake to no more than 1400 calories per day.

Atkins Cookies n cream....it's a meal replacement.

The EAS is good but all i can get at Wal-Mart is vanilla and chocolate
