chrisfla 0 Posted July 18, 2010 I am 41, have three kids, been gaining steadily after getting married and having kids. I was 170 when I met my husband, and a month ago for my well visit I was 263. My doc has me on the two week liquid Protein Shakes. My husband was banded almost a week ago. He is doing great! I started a somewhat Protein Shake diet/one sensible meal a day while he was on his two week shake diet, and lost some weight before my 2 week diet started. It's been going good, not bad cooking for my kids. My husband has lost 30 lbs and is looking awesome! I am happy we were able to do this together, it will make it alot easier for us both. I am hoping when we are up to it, we can start the couch to 5k too. I was never one to exercise and I want to change that. I bothers me that I have wasted so many years letting myself go. I want to be around for my grandkids. Luckily our kids are very fit and very active in sports, so that's good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
