2 Weeks From Today!

I will be having my lapband procedure on 9/2/11. I am not nervous ... yet! Today I started my Pre-Op diet. I am not hungry, but think I didn't ge in enough of protein. 

I am looking to make online friends with others that have had the Lapband for encouragement and advice.

Thanks :-)

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!  I wasn't nervous either.  Actually, I think I was more nervous about the clear liquid phase than anything else.  But I got through it and you will too!!

If you're not getting enough protein in, consider drinking a bottle of Isopure Zero Carb each day.  One bottle has 40 grams of protein.  A lot of people don't like the taste, but I'm fine with the grape frost flavor.  I put it in a big cup with some ice and dilute it with some water.  To me, it tastes like gatorade.  It was such a help to me, not just fulfilling my protein intake, but also helping me lose weight before I even had my surgery.

Whether you try it or not, it is important that you get all your protein in.
Good luck.  We look forward to you joining us on the loser's bench!
