Hi, I am Vicky. I am 51 years old(married for 34 years with 3 sons) and when I broke the 300 mark a month ago I knew I was sinking and I need to do something else. I tried diets, exercise clubs, etc and nothing has worked. I have good health outside of those embarrassing problems of personal hygiene difficulties and being out of shape. I started wheezing after exercising two months ago and that woke me up. My surgery is scheduled for April 14th and while I am scared....I can't wait to start. I have to figure out how to get the tickers. Thank you for being here.

Hi Everyone, THANK YOU PHARMAGIRL FOR INVITING ME HERE. My surgery will be in two weeks. My middle son gets married this week. I have one week back at work and then a week off for the surgery. Whew! Time is flying! My future daughter-in-law and I shopped for first foods I will have to eat for the first 5 days after surgery today. We bought: two baby spoons :thumbup: vegetable broth chicken broth beef broth sugar free popsicles sugar free powdered drink mixes for Water bottles of water decaffeinated sugar free tea crystal light sugar free orange drink sugar free Jello 1/2 cup plastic food containers My doctor and nutritionist said I could only have Clear liquids for the first few days post-op. After that I will be on a sugar free full liquid diet for a week and a half and I can have :eek: Protein drinks and skim milk in addition to the above. I am not looking forward to the start of this journey and I am trying hard not to eat everything I think I might not be able to eat later I need to find out how to start a "ticker". Is anyone starting a scrapbook of their journey?

Hi I am new here, Is there a group for virginia LapBand users? Does anyone know or have experience with Martha Jefferson Hospital and Dr. Michael Trahan? I made the final decision between the Lapband AP and the Realize band yesterday and I am going with the Lapband. My pre-op is done and surgery will be on 04/14 and I am more than a little nervous. Second thoughts are continuous and my choice to not use one of the larger hospital programs; however, I am desperate to do something about my weight. thanks,
