I was on the liquid diet for two weeks prior to surgery. It was not easy as during that time my mother-in-law, who lived with us, died. I had to travel to upstate NY for the funeral and reception. Food, Food, Food everywhere. We went to restaurants at least 6 times. I was alright with it because I planned ahead. Of Course couldnt bring my optifast on the plane but I bought a diet juice and drank that. My saving grace was beef bouillon. I got the little cubes and carried them in my purse. I would order hot water and sit and drink my bouillon while everyone pigged out. It really was not as hard as I thought, but I was determined. Also, the beef bouillon was more satisfying. It is not easy but keep thinking end results. Good luck

hi, I am 62 and am post-op lapband surgery times one week. I was alittle afraid of having something like this done at my age, but I do feel about 40. I am on so many meds that I knew if I keep going the way I am, I will be dead very soon. I am glad I had it done and am so happy with it. I have lost close to 40 lbs. So, yes there are mature adult having the lap band.
