Hello everyone. I had Lap Band surgery on October 6, 2011. I, like everyone else, am tired of the high protein shakes, clear liquids, and Jello. I really don't have any complaints about the surgery other than the bloating and gas pain!!! Yikes! I am dealing with that the best way I know how. I walk around my apartment and have to cups of herbal tea per day. Does it help? Ummm not really but I don't know what else to do!! LOL I wish everyone luck on this journey. Let's change our mind set regarding food and our health!!!
