I made it too! My surgery was on 09-26-11. I had the Lap Band procedure and the surgeon found that I had a hiatal hernia that I didn't know about, so he fixed that too. Hey I am with you about a cheeseburger! I am going to get some protein powder today. With just fluids I feel weak. Might also check out ready to drink protein shakes. We're going to look and feel so much better real soon! Have a great day!
