Hello, Well i got my lap-band surgery on the 13th of Dec. I did my liquid diet for 2weeks and now I am on soft food. I am 57years old and 5' 8. After being heavy all my life,and my numbers being high in all areas(walking time bomb). My doctor talked to me and advised me about lap-band.I took the information and thought about it for about 2 months. When I finally made the appointment and meet the doctor I knew it was time to do it. I was not ready for all the doctor visits and test I had to take. After doing all that needed to be done I was more then ready for surgery. I had lost almost 30 lbs. before and 12 more since having the lap-band. I worry that I might be doing the wrong thing. Afraid I might not be able to do this. I am a little hungry and I just go and have water. I will be joining a gym next week, with another lap-band friend. This is just the start of a new adventure for me and I will do it!!!!!!

hello, like you i just had my lapband done. My surgery was Dec. 13,2010. I had my first visit with the surgeon on Wen. this week. I have lost 12lbs. since surgery. I have a friend at work who also went thru surgery, so she has helped me with all my questions. Iam a little hungry,i mainly just have soft foods, and very little of it. I do drink 2 Protein shakes a day trying to get my 45 grams of protien a day. I have been heavy my entire life and i have just had enough. I am 58 years old. I try and walk daily and i am joining a gym with a friend (my lap band buddy). I wish you success with your journey,you and i know it took a while to get to this point so i don't want to give up!!!!!
