Hello Judith67. My name is Michelle and I live just a stone's throw away from you-in New Port Richey. I was banded in February of this year. Doing well overall, but still struggle at times. I would gladly offer up advice or just lend an ear if you would like.

Hi Ilene. I had my surgery on July 3 and I did two weeks of Optifast prior to the surgery and have been on a liquid diet since. I start on soft foods tomorrow I am a 67 year old woman and retired and work for FEMA on a part time basis.

Thanks Michelle. Have been consistently losing but I am concerned about starting on soft foods tomorrow.

To my Floridain gal friends. Think of the bathing suits you will be wearing soon.

You gals will not starve from having less food, or soft food. I promise you. I also promise you both that you will be much happier with the weight loss you will have. The band is a wonderful tool. But we cannot cheat or abuse the tool. i did so great cause I went full blown on the band. At 64 now 2.5 years ago i was 62 and I lost slowly. When I lost 89 my friend who is 12 years younger lost 135. So I will be happy to work with both of you gals. If you want me to. Just ask...YOu can also send me a private message or use my email at aol. does not matter to me. but what does matter is that both of you spend alot af money and now have the lapband. So we can work together. drink that Water right now.....hugs

For some reason I thought I read something about someone feeling that they will starve on soft food. Am I nuts? Oh I see it was starting not starving...sorry.

Judith,

So how are you doing with soft foods? For me, they were a welcome change. You should start to feel at least a small amount of restriction at this point, provided you are not drinking.
