BEWILDERED

Bewildered here, I hear a lot of talk about the liquid diet and the diets after lapband. I am still in the research stage of banding and not having ruled it out... But what will a person have on a liquid diet? Or a healthy diet? Also as embarrassing as it is to say I do not earn a whole lot of money and have found that when I do try to purchase more healthier foods I tend to spend more... Rice and beans with tortillas is a staple in my house hold because of the inexpenses and amount of meals per bag. I turned to this forum out of desperation. Any suggestions?

Hello, Bewildered here... Thinking about the lap band as a tool to help me loose weight. At the point of being tired of having too many aches and pains everyday. I admit I am not as active as I once was and that is no ones fault but my own. However over a 20 year marriage I have been progressivly gaining weight. An aproximate 110 pounds ( not happy or proud about it). But as I research the lap band one thing is common among all the stories... Diet and exercise. At what point does diet and exercise stop working to cause someone to seek out surgical means of weight loss? Agian my name says it all, but I am still Bewildered if this is a good choice. Any advice?

You use the phrase head hunger... Is that the same as eating out of tiredness to gain energy? Or eating due to stressfull situations? Btw Bewildered here and I have been investigating the proceedure for myself. But a bit apprehensive. Suggestions?? Reassurances?? Complications?? Agian bewildered and seeking advise
