  1. I'm in awe of you all. This is my week before lap band (Aug 31st) and I'm doing the protein shakes. I get inspired when I read your posts. How do I get the weight barometer on my site?
  2. Sounds like you are eating like a bird. I can't imagine such small portions. But then - I don't have my band yet. Question - are there any physical restrictions like snorkeling or swimming? Those are things I love.
  3. Thanks for answering. I have a question - no, I have hundreds of questions. But my first is - prior and post surgery, the regimen sounds very strict. If one has the ability to adher to this, what makes it different than regular dieting? A liquid diet sounds horrible. And after, liquid and then soft food? How long until you can eat regular food - although I know it's in tiny quantities?
  4. Hi all - just wanted to say hello. Just made my first appointment for Lap Band. So many questions. So many fears but so excited. Happy I found your site.
  5. Hi Everyone - first time here. Just made my first appointment for lap band and am very, very conflicted - like I'm sure most of you were. So many questions. Just wanted to say hello. It's comforting to know there is a place for people to go who are having or have had this procedure. Lee
