I am currently getting ready to have surgery on oct 20th and i was wondering if anyone was really good with portion control before surgery and worked out on a regular basis and didn't lose weight. Then had lap band done and lost the weight after surgery. I'm just wondering if the band will truly help me. I have been very good about portion control and how many calories and how much fat i eat. i exercise on a regular basis and haven't lost weight. The band is my last hope. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I exercise 6 days a week doing kickboxing yoga and zumba. I don't eat many carbs I have sugar free carnation instant Breakfast every day. I don't eat snacks and eat very small meals. I eat under 1200 calories a day. In a year I lost 8 pounds. I hardly have sugar at all. So I'm not sure what will happen after the band

I am new to the group and the lap band world. I am being banded on Oct. 20th. i am extremely nervous and excited all at the same time. I start my pre op liquid diet on the 10th. i'm not a fan of most protein shakes. Does anyone have advice on some good tasting shakes. I live in mass
