Good Morning everyone.  I am new to this site.. from the Commerce Twp area if you know where that is.  I am set to have my lap band surgery on July 9th.  I am very excited, but very nervous too.  If anyone has any good tips on how to get through the next week or so... let me know.  thanks, Karen

Karen, welcome! good luck to you on the surgery, focus on the positive for the next few days, nerves are normal, butyou have to remember that you are doing this for you and the outcome will be so worth it! teri

Welcome, One tip I have, is to go to bariatriceating.com and order the sample package.  My taste changed extremely from before to after surgery, I had lap RNY.  The Protien drinks I liked before, I cannot stand now.  They give you a 30-40 samples to try.  All are full 8 oz samples.  I am really enjoying mine, and have found some new favorites. Best of Luck Pam
