Lap Band scheduled for 8/17 - Would like a Buddy!

Hi there,

I'm scheduled to have surgery next Friday, 8/17.  I'm really looking forward to it, but am gettin a bit anxious thinking about what foods I'll be able to eat.  I think Week 1 will be the hardest since it'll be a liquid diet.  Oh boy!   Can't wait to have chicken/veggie/beef broth. 

Also, can anyone explain the difference between a protein shake & a protein drink? I have my pre-op with my Dr the day before, but would appreciate getting some info.

Also looking for a lap-band buddy.  Are you out there?

This is my first post.I went to my first support meeting last week and 2 ladies was trying to talk me ouy of the lap band.What made u decide on the type of surgery.

I am scheduled for my surgery 8/30.  I am like you... 

Wondering what I should expect for the first few weeks.  I have heard some do better than others.  Hoping I am one of them!

I'd love to know how you are doing.  Since we will both be newbies, at least we can have someone with whom to go through this .

Hope all goes well for you!
