Hello,Just found this site,and i thought id introduce myself! My name is Brent and ive been overweight all my adult life.Ive only decided to do something about it in the last year! Dont get me wrong,iv'e dieted off and on over the years but never a "life change" like im doing now! I had Lap -band Surgery yesterday,yep the 14th of December,2011.needless to say i'm a little sore and alot hungry!

Hello Brent my name is Taryn and Im in Perth, Australia. Your story and the rest of us i think are the same. I decided to something aswell as I have been trying to have a baby and losing weight will definately help to be healthier through pregnancy and with a little one. I was due to have my surgery on the 31st Oct but 3 days before I found out I was pregnant, yay.....but our delight was short lived as I miss carried a month later so i went back to my surgoen and he got me on Monday so Im right with you love, 4 days in and going well. Im not hungry at all tho.

Get some soup if you are a hungry as it will fill you very quickly. You will be fine and hang in there with the liquids over the next few days.

I'm from Nebraska as well. Where are you?

im 25 miles north west of Omaha.

We're practically neighbors...I'm in Lincoln. Hope all is going well for you so far.

I'm from Nebraska as well, but about as far away from both of you as I can be and still be a Nebraskan It gets better so hang in there, and good luck!!!

things are going well! had my checkup today and all is good! Ive lost 25 lbs since December 4th! Super stoked about that! i got eat some fish tonight and it was soooo good!
