I have a date

I have my lapband surgery scheduled with Dr. Weiss on March 16. I am really excited and ready to start this journey to a healthier me. Joyce

yea Joyce..that's awesome..there is a possibility I will be there on that date, just ask the doc if I am around..I would love to meet you! Brenda

I'm so glad that you got in so soon. I've got mine March 23. It was great meeting you. Are you going to the support groups? I'd like to keep in touch w/you so we can compare notes!

I think I'm going to need to go to the support groups. We are weak alone but there is security in numbers. Maybe it is misery loves company. Either way I could use the support and wisdom of others who have come before me.

Are you getting nervous? Have you started any protien drinks? I've tried a couple but so far if it's chocolate I like it!! Didn't like the peach. I'm starting to tell more people. Guess it's getting real to me.

hi ginny,i do the gnc gold standard whey ,ice cream flavor,mix it with a bann, and ice and milk it taste like a milk shake,it has 28gms in it....if ya like chocalate they have that also,strawberry is ok. I pay 20$ for 30 scoops and is you have a gold card you save 20% off the first 10 days of every month............vickie r.

I am starting to get nervous. Thursday I go on all day liquid protein drinks to shrink my liver. I have had a few and so far I like the strawberry drinks the best. I never really liked chocolate and I have to say I really dislike the chocolate protein drinks. I can't believe we're really going to be changing soon. I started rationalizing last night why I shouldn't have the surgery but then I came to my senses.

Tomorrow is the big day! Hope you're enjoying your clear liquids. I know I'm looking forward to it. I'm getting really excited & looking forward to an active summer. Keep me posted & best of luck to you Joyce.
