    I had my lap band surgery on Jan 3rd. Still on the liquid phase of eating. I am so tired of liquid. Just one week left. I really need more people who have had the band for support. I do not know any one who has had it done personally. Maybe we can keep each other motivated. Have a great day and keep up the good work.
  • Welcome to the group and to life after WLS!
    I had my bypass Oct 14, 2011 so not too far ahead of you. I am still adjusting too. It has been somewhat of a struggle for me but I am a lot older than you. I have found a lot of support here and it has made a lot of difference. Only people who have gone through this can really answer your questions. And the nice thing is that you can ask just about anything and not be worried about anyone making judgments. Just a tip, log your food daily. It is key. It keeps you honest and helps your friends too.
    Your little boy is adorable. What a good reason to change your life like you are going to.
