New, being banded July 27th!

I am 41, have three kids, been gaining steadily after getting married and having kids. I was 170 when I met my husband, and a month ago for my well visit I was 263. My doc has me on the two week liquid protein shakes. My husband was banded almost a week ago. He is doing great! I started a somewhat protein shake diet/one sensible meal a day while he was on his two week shake diet, and lost some weight before my 2 week diet started. It's been going good, not bad cooking for my kids. My husband has lost 30 lbs and is looking awesome! I am happy we were able to do this together, it will make it alot easier for us both. I am hoping when we are up to it, we can start the couch to 5k too. I was never one to exercise and I want to change that. I bothers me that I have wasted so many years letting myself go. I want to be around for my grandkids. Luckily our kids are very fit and very active in sports, so that's good.
