April 1st is my husband's and my date for the Lap Band..

We have been waiting for a year. It's been worth the wait. Now I'm on a quest for good protein drinks and dealing with the emotional side of why I eat... I'm hoping to journal my why though the fat. Something has got to break the emotional-1/2sleepy state I eat in. Wish me luck.....

You are doing it together??? Thats awesome!! Good luck to you both!!!

Congrat's to both of you..... That's my day too!!! I can't wait. I am doing the protein drinks right now 2 times a day..... yuk, but I'll do anything to finally get this done. Having the lap band as well!!!! Good luck!!! :~)

Good Morning..... Thank-You for the reply. David and I are doing medifast right now, day 3. protein is 80+ and calories is 650 approx.. Our dietician makes us write out 2 complete pureed and soft diet menus before surgery. I've been working on those and found it to be very challenging. We are on a liguid diet for 1 day then 2 weeks of pureed post-op, how about your diets? Oh, we also have to submit our grocery lists, too. Our surgeon is Dr. Curry in Cincinnati, OH, which is not far for us. Him and his staff are very friendly and helpful. I like traveling this journey with my husband. He's not doing the work yet but he will because I work weekends and he'll have to learn his way around the blender and microwave! Keep me posted...
