Well it’s been 4 weeks yesterday since my surgery and I have lost 28 pounds, keep reaching for the extra 2 to make it an even 30. Doesn’t seem to be coming off too fast this last week. I think I already need my first fill because I don’t feel any restriction anymore when I eat.
I think I'm feeling completely normal now and I'm eating "normal" food, except breads, beef, pork, rice and a few other things. I had a little bit of everything at thanksgiving dinner. About a fifth of what I would have had without the lapband.
I haven’t had any soda since my surgery and surprisingly I'm not craving it. It’s hard to just drink plain water so I find it difficult to keep hydrated. I find 1/2 diluted gaterade or sugar free punch more palatable. I don’t like tea so that’s not something I would drink and I’m starting to develop a hatred for protein drinks.

Woohoo I have my surgery date set for 10/26. I already did my pre-op testing and am waiting for Thursday morning for my lapband.
Thanks to Dr Erbella and Dr Bunch and all their staff, also a big thanks to
I started my pre-op diet yesterday and boy is it tough when I smell something cooking. Broth, protein shakes and jello just isn’t the same. This Atkins shake is like liquid cardboard without the fiber LOL. But the other brands are worse. Actually I’m so excited it doesn’t matter if it tastes like rocks.
