I've been working toward this place for years, though I finally made the commitment to being healthy and fit about 9 months ago, and that is when things started moving for me with my doc and my insurance company. I am amazed by what I accomplished once I committed myself fully to it and refused to be stopped (delayed, yes, but stopped, no).
I'm on the pre-op diet, trying to find Protein powders and drinks that I can stand, because I know I'm going to be drinking a lot of them soon. I ordered a lot of samples from Vitalady.com and they actually taste pretty decent, its just I have a hard time with the thickness of the drinks. Using straws helps, but I'm going to look into the nectars.
I'm also curious if anyone has any opinions about the liquid Proteins out there that are supposedly no carb and tasteless, like Prosource's product.
I picked up one form of Liquid Protein but it is syrupy and sweet, and I'm not fond of sweet.
I'm learning to eat meditatively, to really experience my food, even if its just cottage cheese and tuna fish. I eat slower that way, and find that I am satisfied sooner.
I'm excited about the LapBand and its potential as a tool for helping to reinforce the behavioral, dietary and motivational changes I am making in my life.
