Introduction

Am considering lapband or gastric bypass, hopefully with a surgery date of 12/17.

Am almost into senior status. Have some serious health issues including diabetes, hoping to avoid others, and have an acceptable quality of life as I move into retirement. While I accept that there will be some pretty drastic changes once the surgery is done, and am doing my best to prepare, am still very curious about post op diet etc., and how to deal with everyday things, such as preparing meals for family, dealing with social gatherings, etc., in the post op phase.

I too am new at this and keep finding myself back to the same question.. how to prepare for the family.. I am the one who makes the lunches and dinners and finding myself struggleing with how to continue that especially now since I am doing the 10 day liquid diet now. Surgery date is 12/8...
