Anybody??

So.. my surgery is like a little over a month away and I'm a little worried about the diet afterwards. I mean, what's the easiest way to adjust to the diet if you don't know how to eat healthy or live healthy?

Should I go ahead and do a gym membership now or should I make changes to my lifestyle beforehand?

Don't get me wrong. I love this site, there's a lot of information on here that's been helpful in my decision to have this surgery but I wish it were easier to talk with people about the surgery and their experiences or better yet.. a local group session would be awesome too.

Does anyone have any suggestions on making the transition from fat slob to healthy happy person? lol :hungry:

buy a copy of weight watchers magazine--or see if it's at your library (or read it at the bookstore). there are LOTS of healthy eating ideas and recipes in there.

plus--once you get your band tightened--you're not going to be eating much--i can tell you that--as i have just had my 2nd fill and i am really struggling with eating.

but if you want to learn ahead of time--weight watchers magazines, or cookbooks--will really help you.
