Hi! Everyone,

I'm so thrilled to find this site!! I am three months out from my LAP-BAND® surgery (Jan 25, 2010) I've had my ups and downs, but I've looked at these first months as a learning session. I've tried different times of day to eat my meals(six small versus three meals + one snack) The best things for me so far are measuring portions, a food journal and making sure I have something I can take with me when we go to family or friends homes. I'm incorporating walking on a daily basis. Lifting weights at least two times a week. I know that this is something I will be doing for the rest of my life. I am so glad I have the help of the LAP-BAND®, but I know if I am to be healthy and fit I will have to commit to doing whatever it takes to get there!

Hey Cathy! Welcome aboard! I'm up for banding May 28. I share your sentiments exactly, have been practicing and walking for three months now, but lack your actual banded experience.

Hi! Anne, Thanks for the warm welcome. You are way ahead of the game if you are living a healthy lifestyle now. I wish you all the best on your upcoming surgery!
