I plan on having the lap band surgery within the next year. I will take the upcoming year to work with my doctor on anything that I need while also doing as much research as possible on my own. After all waiting one year to prepare myself for the lifestyle that I will live with for the rest of my life seems reasonable. Assuming that you are post band, What foods do you miss the most? Pizza and Chicken Tikka Masala (from a local Indian restaurant) are my absolute favorite! However, they aren't healthy (obviously) and I know that I will miss them! But, I'd rather miss the food and not have to wear the stupid Mask in bed every night bc of my sleep apnea (which I hope will go away with weight loss)! Not to mention being able to play sports with my son for an extended period of time!

Mine is Diet Coke, but I have gotten over it. I tried it flat during the first year and that cured me of wanting it. I can eat most things with my band but in small portions, I may only be able to have one or two bites but I can eat it.

No carbonated beverages? My Perrier. Oh no
