I have been battling my weight for the past 20 years. I was going to have the surgery last year and I changed my mind a few days before the surgery. I lost about 45 pounds of weight prior to my surgery and I am back to my heavy weight again 292 and I am 5’ 10”. One of my largest fears is that I will never be able to eat again. I am a person who loves to cook , loves to have dinner parties and the company of my friends and family. I am not a drinker or a smoker, but food has always been the way that I celebrated life. I just turned 48 on June 6^th and I know the way to eat I just can’t seem to control the amounts that I do eat. I have a very loving and supportive partner and I know he will be there for me no matter what, but I have a hard time with control. I started back on my diet on my Birthday and I have been doing protein shakes for lunch and breakfast, but I have trouble at night when I get home from work I am hungry and I know I am eating more than I should. Last night I made a giant vegetable salad and a grain salad to have for when I get home instead of eating non healthy food.

Also I have noted that most of the people on this site are woman and I was wondering if there were any men that I have lap band surgery. Nothing against you ladies, but are bodies are different and I wanted to get a man’s opinion as to lap band surgery and their issues and success. I look forward to hearing from everyone and look forward to making some friends, building support through this website and continue building that friendship through life experience. Frank
