Hi,

Wanted to introduce myself. I will be going in for lap band surgery Friday September 16th at NYU with Dr. George Fielding. I have been on liquids for a week and have one more to go, it has not been overly terrible although there have been many moments of weakness. At this point I am glad I haven't given in as I want my surgery to go as smoothly as possible, I think this site is great for finding out information about life with the band and sharing of personal journeys.

Hi Anthony! Welcome!

You are 10 days behind me. I had my surgery on Sept 6 so I am now 3 days post op. I feel great! Good for you for not giving in to those moments of weakness, you gotta be strong! I was on a week of liquid Protein before my surgery. I gave in and had 1/2 a cucumber slice, twice. My husband scolded me so much you would have thought I'd eaten a banana split! I am determined to be successful with the lap band, my health demands it. Good luck on 9/16, and keep in touch!
